Erik Darnell on racing at Nashville Superspeedway: "Nashville is a long, but fun track to race on. I've had some decent runs here the past couple of years including picking up the pole back in 2006. The last concrete track we raced at was Dover and that wasn't pretty at all. So, I expect a lot better race this time around. The team has put in a lot of extra hours in the shop with the week off preparing for Saturday night. We are coming down to a handful of races left in the season and if we want to stay in the championship hunt we must keep up the strong finishes. If we can do that everything else will fall into place."

Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at Nashville Superspeedway: "My advice to Erik this weekend is to hold on tight because Nashville is one fast race track. The concrete surface and large track size makes it one of the more exciting tracks we visit during the season. We are bringing the Charlotte truck with us to Nashville. This truck gave Erik his second top-five of the season back in May. Erik really likes the way it handles, and I feel it gives us our best shot at a win."
