Robert Pressley Quotes:
On Chicagoland: “I’ve never raced at Chicagoland, but it’s very similar to the Kansas Speedway. I ran a truck race at Kansas in 2002 and finished seventh, so I’m looking forward to Saturday’s race. I’ve always adjusted quickly to the intermediate tracks, especially the ones with some banking. We’ve got (teammate) Stacy Compton’s notes to work with, so I don’t think it will take us long to get up to speed.”
On the season: “The race last week at Daytona was a big shot in the arm. We qualified second and finished fourth, and while it’s just one race, it reminded us why all the work these guys do on the car is worth it. We’ve been showing improvements every week, and it’s good when all that work pays dividends. Now we need to build on that momentum.”
Crew Chief Dan Deeringhoff Quote:
On Chicagoland: “Chicagoland is a great speedway. The races there have gotten better each year as the pavement continues to cure. It’s a racetrack that tests every kind of strategy, from speed to fuel mileage to tire management and pit stops. Just like everywhere else, it’s important that Robert is able to keep the car on the bottom groove, but it’s just as important that he’s able to move to the middle or higher groove if he needs it.”
