David Stremme Quotes:
"The test this week went really well. The No. 40 team went to Carroway
Speedway and we got a chance to test some things for the upcoming
Bristol and Martinsville races. I love short track racing already but
it was good to get out and take one of our cars to test some new things
and try and get stronger on some of my better tracks.
"Last week's race was not what we had hoped for but sometimes you will
have that. Crew chief Jeff Vandermoss and the entire No. 40 team have
gotten together and we are working out some of the problems we had the
last two weeks. I am looking forward to racing this weekend at Atlanta
Motor Speedway because it is one of the fastest tracks we go to all
season. There are several different grooves so you can pass and that
makes the racing exciting. I have had some strong finishes here and I
am looking to continue those finishes this weekend in the Coors Light
Dodge."
