Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“Talladega is about having a car that’s real fast. I know the guys have been working very hard on the speedway program since Daytona. They’ve spent a lot of time at the proving grounds among other things, trying to get any edge they can. It sounds like we’re taking a really good piece back there.
It’s one of those races it seems like you just have to be there at the end. It seems like every year there’s a big wreck and, unfortunately, I’ve been swept up in them the last couple of years. So, hopefully we can go down there and turn in a solid qualifying lap, get in the race, be there at the end, and have a good shot at a great finish.”
