Kerry Earnhardt on driving the No. 29 ESGR Chevrolet at Dover International Speedway

“I am excited to be behind the wheel of the ESGR car at Dover. Dover is a tough track, but we tested and learned a lot. We have a great race car and a great bunch of guys pitting the car. I have been looking forward to this race for a while.”
