Donny Lia on Racing into Nashville with Momentum: “After being off for a couple weeks I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of the No.71 Nationsrides.com TRG Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado in Nashville. We had a great test last week at Chicagoland Speedway and I really hope we can apply what we learned there at Nashville. As usual, the guys are working hard at the shop and that combined with the momentum we have coming off our first top-10 since we won at Mansfield will help propel us to another great finish. It would be great for all of us at TRG to have a solid run on a 1.5-mile racetrack, an area of our program in which we have struggled a bit this year.”
Donny Lia Claims Third in Modified on Saturday at Riverhead Raceway: “Last weekend I was able to get some seat time in a NASCAR Whelen Modified. It really felt good to get back into a Modified and race with my friends again. We managed to finish third in the Miller Lite 140 which was a ton of fun for me and my guys. I'd like to congratulate my friend Jimmy Blewett on his win there, he was tough!”
