Kluever on racing in Nashville:
“I expect to have a really good weekend at Nashville. It’s a place I really like. I ran well there in the truck and in the Busch car both times last year. Sitting on the pole again would be nice, but I’d rather contend for a win. I’ve got my favorite car back, the one that got crashed in the Las Vegas test so I’m anxious to get up there in put in a good run.
“Nashville is a neat place. It’s concrete so that always makes it a little more fun since there is a lot of grip. The driver can affect the car there, but it’s easy to overdrive the corners which can hurt your exit of the corners. It’s a lot of fun for a driver because you can contribute as a driver and your team contributes with a good car.”
Eddie Pardue on racing in Nashville:
“I think Todd will do really well this weekend at Nashville. He won the pole there last year in the Busch car, and got a top five in the trucks in 2005. He really likes the track, and we’ve got his favorite car back for him to drive. He’s had some good runs at some tough tracks, so it will be nice for him to get to run at a place he really likes.”
