Driver Scott Lagasse Jr.’s Thoughts on ORP: “This is one of those tracks that reminds me of the days when I first started my stock car racing career. It’s almost like you are going back to grassroots racing. There are no frills. Just a race track and I really enjoy that. There’s not any other track out there during our season that has a feel like ORP. It’s Saturday night racing under the lights at its finest and that’s something I really enjoy.” Shayna Keller #11 America's Incredible Pizza Company Toyota/Scott Lagasse Jr. NASCAR Nationwide Series Media Relations Manager 704-902-8381 Cell # skeller@cjmracing.com This message, together with any attachments, is intended only for the named recipient(s).
