Stremme said: “I'm excited to be back in the #22 Supercuts Dodge this weekend. The car is new and I was really happy with it at testing. Only had to do a few laps and knew it was going to work. Can’t wait to see what it will do on Saturday night.”

Bliss said: “Lowe’s is a fun track and it’s even better with a good car, which Paul and the crew have really worked hard on. I really appreciate Family Dollar and Fitz Motorsports for giving me these opportunities and hopefully we will get out there and get it done for them.”

Wolfe said: “Basically we have been going over everything we learned at the test. The brand new car unloaded good and Stremme was happy with the new car. Mike drove both cars at the test, and they both ran almost the same speeds. We worked on the body for Bliss’ car, and they should be comparable in the race.”
