Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“We hope to go to California and qualify real well and have a good race. It’s a unique race in that it starts in the afternoon and ends at night so you have to keep up with the race car and keep up with the changes on it. It’s usually a good race out there and it’s always nice going back. It’s an enjoyable place to race and the fans out there are great. We are going to go out there and do real well and come out of there with a top 20 finish – that would be great”
