“Heading to Iowa Speedway this weekend and we are looking to get the 98 car back to prime form. Since the track has become bumpier over the years, we have sort of lost our ‘mojo’ and we’re ready to get that back. I would love to get a second win at Iowa and a fifth podium. Also really looking forward to having fans back with us at the track again.”
