QUOTE WORTHY
Bubba Wallace on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“It was nice to have some time off after the long summer stretch of racing, but I am ready to get going again in our Fastenal Ford. We had a great car at Texas earlier this year, and I’m looking forward to building on that. We’ve got three races to close out this season. I’d love to get a trophy and end the year building momentum for next season.”
