“I remember winning the signature Norwalk ‘ice cream scoop trophy’ there in 2018. It was pretty cool to put that trophy up on the shelf and I’d love to win another one this weekend. We’ve been struggling a little bit this year, more than we’d like to especially compared to how well we ran last year. But, I’m feeling really confident, especially coming off of that No. 1 qualifier at the last race. The car is really coming around as far as us being aggressive and it’s handling well. We’re ready to put this Mopar Dodge Hellcat back in the winner’s circle.
“The Bader family always puts on a great show for the fans; they do it up big. The fans in the area always show up in full force, so I’m excited about seeing them since it’s been two years. We’re ready to put on a good show for them.”
