HE SAID IT…
RICKY STENHOUSE ON THE NO. 21 TSR TEAM’S VICTORY AT KOKOMO SPEEDWAY AND THIRD PLACE FINISH IN THE USAC INDIANA MIDGET WEEK SERIES:
“It was really cool to win at Kokomo on Sunday night. That was a great way to top a pretty good week in the midget. I’ve really enjoyed running the midgets more this year. I’m getting really comfortable and the guys have been working really hard to give me a good car each night. It’s pretty cool to have won four midget races for Chevrolet. Hopefully we’ll be able to get another one this Friday at Macon. I am looking forward to heading there and to the mile in Illinois. It would be great to be able to win another silver crown race this season. It will also be fun to run on the mile. It’s been awhile since we’ve been on a big dirt track.”
