Donny Lia on Racing at Bristol: “I’m hoping that we have a good truck at Bristol but you really never know until you unload for practice. If history repeats itself, we should be pretty decent and get a good run. I am looking forward to it and I look forward to racing at Bristol in general. It’s a really, really cool race track. It is really fast; probably the fastest half-mile in the world with the banking and all. I really don’t know what to expect but either way I am definitely looking forward to racing at Bristol. It should be a really good experience for me. Hopefully we’ll come out of Bristol with a really good finish. I know this team is capable of it.”
Donny Lia His Past at Bristol: “I’ve tested at Bristol Motor Speedway a few times, so I know what I’m in for on Wednesday night. It will be important to qualify well and get a good starting position so you have a better chance of staying out of trouble and out of a big wreck. Everything happens so quick at Bristol that you really don’t have much time to react.”
