What do you like best about racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway?
Charlotte’s always been good for me. I personally like Charlotte a lot on long green-flag runs. Hopefully, we can put some steam to her and see what we can do this weekend. It’s always fun to race in front of your hometown crowd. A lot of family and friends come out to watch, it’s a good time. – Austin Dillon
