Daniel Suarez Quotes:
“I’m looking forward to racing in Chicago this weekend as part of my preparation for 2015, as well as the ARCA race at Kentucky and the Truck race at Talladega in the coming weeks. It is going to be exciting to have the chance to start representing my new sponsor ARRIS as we begin planning for next season. I appreciate RAB Racing for working with Joe Gibbs Racing to help provide me with this opportunity so I can start learning new tracks and get ready to run full time next season. I’m thankful to everyone involved for giving me this opportunity.”
Keith Hinkein Quotes:
“I appreciate the opportunity to work with up-and-coming NASCAR star Daniel Suarez and we’re really excited about bringing him to compete at his intermediate racetrack. There will be a learning curve for Daniel as this is only his second Nationwide Series race and first with RAB Racing, but I’m looking forward to a great run at Chicagoland Speedway with a talented young driver behind the wheel.”
