Eric McClure quotes:
“I am looking forward to getting back to Iowa. We ran really well there last year and recorded one of our better finishes of the season, although we didn’t qualify well. We aren’t locked in this year so we will have to concentrate on qualifying first and then worry about the racing later. Our qualifying has picked up the last few weeks and I am hoping for another good weekend for our team.”
