Scott Speed on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway:
"Homestead should be interesting. I have never run at the Miami track, so I hope to make the process as smooth as possible this weekend. I have had great trucks the last few weeks, but we just ran into some issues with them during the race. Hopefully this weekend we can run well and bring home a finish that this team deserves."
