Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to racing under the lights at Charlotte in our Blackwell Angus Ford. We sat on the pole there in the spring and had a strong fourth place finish. We are bringing the same chassis that we raced in Atlanta and got a third place finish. Charlotte is a fast race track and is extremely fun to race. I feel pretty confident that we can get this Blackwell Angus back to victory lane this weekend.”
