HE SAID IT…
PAUL MCMAHAN ON THE NO. 20 TEAM’S WEEKEND IN THE DESERT OF ARIZONA:
“This weekend was very encouraging for our team; we had our best weekend of the season in Arizona. The Chevrolet engines ran well and we even had some luck fall our way. Starting on the pole for the race is a position we’ve not been in a lot yet this year and I think it’s something that we’ll be able to achieve a lot more from this point on. We’re starting to work through the early season issues we had and we’re really getting into a rhythm, which is good as we get ready to start a long stretch of weekly racing. Even though we’re going to have a week off I don’t think it will affect us. We’re looking forward to heading back to Houston Raceway Park and Pike County Speedway in a couple of weeks. I think we’re getting very close to getting our first victory of the year for Bass Pro Shops and Chevrolet.â€
