Brett Moffitt Quoteboard:
On Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway: “Daytona is always a crapshoot. You never know what to expect. I have been fortunate to have fast race cars when I go to Daytona, but trying to capitalize on that speed doesn’t always turn out as I had hoped.
“I am really excited to bring the same No. 25 AM Racing Ford Mustang that we raced at Talladega Superspeedway in April. It was incredibly fast and we dominated the race before getting collected in a late-race incident.
“I am also proud to represent Wawa this weekend and promote their Dragon Burst recharger. They have a start within a few minutes of the track and with them being the title partner for the race, I am eager to deliver them a strong finish with our Ford Mustang.
“Our goal Friday night is to win and propel ourselves into the Xfinity Series Playoffs!”
On 2023 Season Outlook: “We are past the halfway point of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and I feel we have much to be proud of. Our team has strengthened as the season has marched on, and I believe the results have showcased that.
“We have been on a little bit of a roller coaster right now, but that will end soon. We have some excellent tracks coming up for our AM Racing team. We are reenergized and ready to head to Daytona and fight for more than a top-10 finish.
“With the Playoffs on the horizon, we are doing everything in our power to fight our way into Victory Lane so we can take up one of the coveted 12 spots and bring some attention to our AM Racing team.”
