JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK QUOTE (ON CANADIAN TIRE MOTORSPORT PARK.):
“Racing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is something I have been looking forward to making some right-turns. I feel like last year, my experience was a blast. This place is really fun, really fast, and it is hard to pass for track position.
“Track position is going to play a big role, but you have to get your Chevrolet to work here. It is not necessarily a technical track for the driver, but in order to be fast your NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry need to turn, have positive front grip, and have traction off the corner. The key passing places, you have to remember those and you can’t get yourself in a bind – getting hung on the outside on any of these fast corners.”

“Coming to Bristol Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Wednesday night is something I have definitely looked forward to for a while. This track suits my driving style – it is fast, it is fun, it is a driver’s track. You have to get your truck to handle right, but if you are a little afraid or if you can’t get your foot down to push the pedal on the metal then you are not going to be fast.”
