Joe Graf Jr. Quoteboard:
On Nashville Superspeedway: “I feel like Nashville Superspeedway owes me one to be honest. Last year, I had a really fast Ford Mustang, qualified strong, raced strong and just wound up being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
“This year, I’d like to think that I can take the knowledge of my Nashville experience and apply it to our No. 38 G-Coin® Ford Mustang that will transition into a strong weekend for our RSS Racing team.
“It was nice to come out of the road course races relatively intact and a lot of information gained for our notebook, but I am excited to be about being back on an oval.
“I am just hoping for a good day at the race track for G-Coin®, our other partners, friends, family and fans and the opportunity to officially kick off this summer stretch on a good note.”
On The 2023 Season: “We started the year off really strong between RSS Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing, but unfortunately we’ve been on a rollercoaster throughout the season.
“I know we just have to survive this stretch of unique races which includes a street course and hopefully in-between all the different types of tracks we’ll find a rhythm that will allow us to continue to accelerate in a positive direction.
“I just need to continue to stay focused, communicate with my team and utilize the knowledge that I’ve gained over the past three years to recover and have my best Xfinity Series season yet.”
