Dennis Setzer Atlanta Quotes
Regarding a new sponsor:
"We are very proud to be representing Shell Rotella T on the race track this year. These guys have been a great sponsor of our sport and we really want to pay them back for choosing to support our team by putting them in victory lane in their first race with Morgan-Dollar Motorsports. We're excited to represent their brand, their products and their distributors beginning this weekend in Atlanta."

Regargding the race track: "Atlanta is a very tricky and fast race track. The track layout gives you lots of corners to have to deal with in your set up. Usually there is plenty of space off of turn four, and everyone can get a handle off that turn, but turn two is very difficult to nail. A race truck can be loose or tight off that corner and finding the medium is critical to being fast at this speedway.

Last year, we ran well at the night race but couldn't get a good handle on the track for the day race. The night time racing gives you quite a bit more grip than the day racing does. The track ends up becoming a multi-groove race track as the race goes on with a high, medium and low line. Tires are going to be pretty important and we are going to have to stop at least twice for this 200-mile event."
