    QUOTES

    “I’m looking forward to being back in the Xfinity Series with Sam Hunt Racing and to having GEARWRENCH on board. We had great speed at Dover and a lot of momentum coming out of the weekend that I’m excited to apply to Darlington. Between sim and my experience in the Truck Series there, I’m feeling pretty good about our weekend ahead.” 
    — Corey Heim, Driver of the No. 24 GEARWRENCH GR Supra
