Bill Davis Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at The Milwaukee Mile:
I have had a lot of success in Milwaukee. I won a truck race there and had a Busch Series race won until I ran out of fuel on the final lap. It has been a good track for me. Hopefully, we can get our Toyota Tundra up front and win one of these things for Toyota and Bill and Gail Davis. My guys have really been working hard, and things are really starting to come together. We dominated the race in Texas a couple of weeks ago and battled back from adversity last week to salvage a top-15 finish. My team is hungry for success, and I think we are back on track. I hope we can keep our streak going this weekend and get out of Milwaukee with a top-10 finish.
Crew chief Jeff Hensley on racing at The Milwaukee Mile:
I am looking for good things in Milwaukee. My guys have been working really hard to get out of the hole we dug for ourselves early in the season. We have been back to our old form the last three or four races, and Milwaukee is going to be a good race for the entire team. We know Skinner knows how to get around the track, but we just need a little luck to have a strong showing. We had an awesome truck last week in Michigan, but we had to pit under green because there was a windshield tear off on the grill, which caused our truck to overheat. The team did a great job on pit road, and we salvaged a decent finish out of what could have been a disastrous race. Skinner is doing a great job behind the wheel, and we are all hungry for a win. Hopefully, it will come this weekend at The Milwaukee Mile.
