Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m looking forward to going to Loudon. I’m going up to David’s House and Dartmouth Children’s Hospital (CHaD) and visiting with kids up there. It’s always a special time for me. I went up there a few years ago and got to meet a lot of kids. It’s an amazing hospital and the services they provide for kids who are sick and have problems are outstanding.
Loudon is a pretty unique track. It’s a lot like Richmond. I think we can use a lot of our same notes from there [Richmond] and hopefully have the same success in qualifying [at NHIS]. I felt real good about the car we had there last time - in the race we ran real competitive at the end. Hopefully, we can have the same results only with a little better finish. I’m excited, our qualifying has definitely been a lot better lately and now we have just got to work on getting our racing a little bit better and hopefully have some good runs here at the end of the year.”
