Quotes:
Scott Wimmer on Daytona:
“Daytona is a special place. Charlotte may be the future of the sport but Daytona is its past and you can feel the history when you’re at Daytona. So many careers have been made and broken there. It’s one track that every driver has on their list of must-wins in their career.”
Scott Wimmer on the Busch season thus far:
“We’ve had some really bad luck these last few races together. The first few races I was in the No. 66 car this season we made huge strides. It’s always tough feeling out the chemistry with a new crew chief, driver and team all coming together but Newt Moore and the Brewco Motorsports guys and I worked really well together right from the start. We’ve had some bad luck but each week the team gets stronger overall. I’m excited to be in the majority of the Busch races from here on out. The more races we have together the better we are going to get.”
