REED SORENSON QUOTES
“I definitely think we will be in the top five this weekend at Texas. We tested there in March and we were really fast on the long runs. It is hard to gauge how we stack up against the other teams because there weren’t any other Busch cars there when we tested. But, the car felt great and I think the Discount Tire Dodge can bring home a top-five finish this weekend.”
