37th annual ProCare Rx SuperNationals
June 21-24, 2007
Old Bridge Township Raceway Park
Englishtown, N.J.
“It’s one of the big races on the schedule. To win that race last year and to come back as the points leader and defending champion, that’s a good combination. I’m excited about that. We doubled-up at Phoenix the past two years, and that’s our plan at Englishtown. It will probably be a hot track, so it will be tricky for both the drivers and crew chiefs. I like those kind of races because it feels good when you can win a round for your team.”
