Quotable:
“We’ve got a few more races left for us this season, so we’re planning to make the most of them. At the beginning of the year, our team made a list of goals we wanted to achieve. We’ve made some great headway with our program, but there’s one thing we haven’t done yet, which is to add a Diamond Wally to our shelves. With this being my third year really learning the ropes of team ownership, I’m really proud of what we’ve built and accomplished. I have all the confidence in this team to know that our first win isn’t far off and that bigger things are coming for us.”
