MYATT SNIDER QUOTES:
After already having one superspeedway race in the books this season, what are your expectations for Talladega Superspeedway?
“You just have to stay out of the mayhem, plan out your moves, and pick who you are racing against. If you get around some squirrels, they can get a little feisty and ruin your race. Andy Street (crew chief) and the boys always bring really fast cars to the superspeedways and Daytona was no exception. We were even faster in practice than we were in our pole run from 2020. I have the utmost confidence that we will bring a fast race car and we will be ready to slay it and get to the front quick.”
How do you approach strategy in a superspeedway race? Get to the front as fast as possible or protect yourself until the end?
“I think you have to be aggressive from the start and stay in front. You don’t necessarily need to dominate the race, but be inside the top five cars, because that is probably the safest area to be at. Usually from the back, you have to dodge wrecks and deal with people jockeying for positions. We will try to get our TaxSlayer Chevrolet to the front as fast as we can and stay out of everyone else’s messes.”
