Joey Coulter Quote:

 

Chicagoland Speedway has really developed into its own style of track over the past few years. The bumps in Turn 3 and Turn 4 have really added another challenge to the track. Those bumps make for better racing, especially in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. I am looking forward to this weekend with our No. 21 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet Silverado, and keeping our progress moving forward at GMS Racing, like we have all year.

Grant Enfinger Quote:

 

I am looking forward to getting to Salem Speedway this weekend with our Motor Honey/Casite, Allegiant Travel team. I love the track, and short tracks have been really strong for us this year. I know they have changed the track some in Turn 3 and Turn 4, but the result will be the same for everyone, and I think our GMS Racing team will figure it out. I think we have some great things happening at GMS Racing and I'm looking forward to all the remaining races.
