Quote: JR Hildebrand
“I’m definitely excited to get back on track with the Barracuda Racing team at Fontana. It’s a tough track and although we didn’t get to test there, I’m still very confident that we can compete at the front.

“I lead a bunch of laps there last year and Barracuda Racing was really strong late in the race, so hopefully we can put all of that together and end the season on a high note for all.”
