Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m very excited to be going back to Bristol. It’s always been a good race track for me. We had our strongest run of the year there and hopefully going back it will be even better. We have a new sponsor, Bully Hill Vineyards, on the car along with Food City and Forward Air so we plan to go there, have a strong day, not make any mistakes and come out of there with a good run.”
