Jason Leffler’s thoughts on New Hampshire International Speedway:
"I am really looking forward to going back to New Hampshire, especially
after finishing third there last year in the Busch Series race. Loudon is a fast,
flat track where you need a good handling car that allows you to get into a
rhythm and click off laps until the end of the race. The WINFUEL/Braun Racing
guys have been working hard during the week to prepare the car, and at the
track they have been working to adjust the #32 Chevy to my driving style.
Between their equipment and my past success, I feel like we have everything
necessary to win this weekend.�??
Leffler about driving the #32 WINFUEL Chevy last weekend at Chicagoland
Speedway:
“It was really disappointing to have such a great car and to not be able to
be there at the end to compete for the win. The WINFUEL guys gave me one of
the best cars that I have ever driven, but unfortunately we had to come to pit
road for an unscheduled stop close to the end of the race and that trapped
us a lap down. At the time that we got the flat tire, we were running third
and had already made our last pit stop, which put us in perfect position to
compete for the win. I’m sure that the WINFUEL team will bring another fast car
to New Hampshire, and hopefully this time we can produce at top finish like
the #32 car is capable of each week.�??
