Scott Speed's Racing Quotes:
Scott Speed on racing at Talladega Superspeedway: "Talladega should be fun. Between running in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and the Truck Series this weekend, I should definitely have enough track time. So by the time the truck race rolls around, I should know the track extremely well.
"We had a bad run last time out in Vegas, but I guess we can't run well all the time. Hopefully, that race will be our bad race, and we can just put it behind us and move forward. I have only run here at Talladega once, but we ran quite well, so I hope to use that info to my advantage all weekend."
