JASON KELLER ON DARLINGTON
 “When I was growing up racing go-karts and late models all around South Carolina I always looked at Darlington and hoped that maybe someday I would get to run there so it’s always cool for me to go there.  I’ve taken a lot of vacations near there so the entire area around the track is a place where I have a lot of great memories.  The races at Darlington are always exciting and I’ve run very well there in the past.  I think our team is making great strides and have a chance to start competing for some wins.  Being that Darlington is my home-state track, it would be extra special if we could bring home a victory this weekend!”

TODD GORDON ON DARLINGTON
“Darlington is a unique track in that it is egg-shaped and because of that the corners are very different in how you run them.  One and two are very open and three and four are real tight.  Because they handle differently you really can’t make the car perfect, you have to make it the best of average between the two.  We are brining car 82 which we ran at both California and Nashville this year and aero wise is our best piece to bring to Darlington.  Jason and I have run well there in the past, including a seventh-place finish last year and we definitely want to run well this week being that we will be in Jason’s home state.”
