Bliss said: “Nashville is another tricky, concrete track, but I’ve had a lot of success there. I won a Truck Series race there in 2002 and added the guitar to my trophy case and would love to add a second one. All the guys at Fitz Motorsports continually give me good, fast cars and I know it’ll be the same at the Nashville Superspeedway this weekend. I look forward to bettering my position from 10th in April to 1st in June.”

Wolfe said: “There’s no doubt in my mind that we can win at the Nashville Superspeedway this weekend in the Family Dollar/Supercuts Dodge. Mike Bliss is coming in to run the race for us and he’s a talented, veteran driver who will battle for a win. We had a top-10 finish our last run there and as long as we can stay out of other people’s mistakes, we’ll be right there at the end for a win.”

Car Owner Armando Fitz: “Nashville Superspeedway is a special track to me since I’m from Nashville and have so many family and career ties to the city. I’d love to add the guitar to my trophy case in Mooresville, North Carolina. Mike Bliss has done a fantastic job for us when he’s been behind the wheel of the Family Dollar/Supercuts Dodge and we see no reason he cannot come into Nashville and score our first win of the 2007 season. We’re coming off a great run at Dover and it gives us more momentum coming into Nashville. We look forward to the weekend and all the activities surrounding the race.”
