Tate Fogleman Pre-Race Quotes:
On Atlanta Motor Speedway: “I’m optimistic about going to Atlanta this weekend. We did not have the performance we hoped for last June, but I think we have learned a lot as a team since then and we can return and aim for another top-20 finish.”
On 2021 Season After Three Races: “We’re steady, but plenty of more work to be done. We have made some gains since Daytona last month, but we have bigger goals and aspirations for this season.
“We need to keep delivering these solid finishes and just hope we get better with top-15s and top-10s and so on.
“I feel like the communication with Pickle is continuing to get better with each race. We’ll hope for the best at Atlanta and go from there.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
