“I am looking forward to the ARCA Series finale at Kansas Speedway this Friday. We are bringing the same car that Spencer won in at Kansas in 2014. I am confident that our team will come out strong and hopefully return to Victory Lane. I am excited to have a great partner on board for this weekend’s event, Champion Power Equipment.
