QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Daytona International Speedway:
“We’re ready for another championship. Our Nationwide Series season starts this week and I think we have worked on a few things that we needed to work on during the off-season and want to start out strong this year. We’ve got Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats and Pop-Tarts on our No. 6 Ford Mustang this weekend. They will stock us up for breakfast and snacks throughout the season.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Daytona International Speedway:
“I am ready to head to Daytona. We know we have a bulls-eye on our backs, but I am confident that we are strong enough to go for another championship. We made a few changes to our team but the majority of the championship team is still together. Daytona is always tricky because you have to stay out of trouble because you don’t want to be caught up in the big one. Ricky and I will talk about our strategy, but I feel strongly that we can get this No. 6 Kelloggs Pop-Tarts/Rice Krispies Ford to victory lane.”
