Brett Moffitt Quoteboard:

On Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “I am eager to return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. We had such a solid qualifying effort in the spring with our AM Racing team, and I wanted to turn that performance into a career weekend. 

“Unfortunately, we had some hiccups during the race that hindered our finish, but redemption is definitely in our forecast on Saturday afternoon. We had some tough luck at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL last weekend, but Saturday is a great chance to bounce back and get the stretch drive off to a good start. 

“We don’t have many more chances to contend for wins or top-10 finishes this season, but we want to take this next month or so to make sure we are in a position to execute when it matters most, especially this weekend at Las Vegas with our No. 25 Lane Frost Brand Ford Mustang.” 

On The 2023 Season: “We are less than a month away from the conclusion of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season, and I’d love nothing more than to close it out with a stack of top-10 finishes with our AM Racing team. 

“It’s officially the homestretch and the final four races of 2023. I’d love to recover from the frustration of the ROVAL and put us back in the top-10 where we know we belong.

“From the Las Vegas to Homestead, Martinsville, and Phoenix, there is much to be desired over the season’s final races and to end the year on a high note.”
