Erik Darnell on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway: "I've had some really good runs here the past couple of years. This Northern Tool + Equipment team just missed out last year on a win and I'm hoping to put the No. 99 Ford F-150 in victory lane this time around. Passing at this track is minimal, so we certainly need that track position if we want to contend for a win. A victory for this team would certainly put us back in the thick of things with just seven races to go."
Crew chief Matt Puccia on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway: "Track position means so much at this track. We had a great truck last week at Gateway, but not having the best track position throughout the race hurt our chances at a top-five or even a top-three finish.
Truck RK-50 will be on the track this weekend, which has already given the team three top five's this season. This truck really runs well at a track like New Hampshire. If we get that track position and the No. 99 crew keeps up its outstanding work on pit road, this could end up being a great weekend for the Northern Tool + Equipment team."
