From the Cockpit:
Brandon Jones: “Our No. 19 Yee Yee team is excited to be headed to the inaugural Circuit of the Americas road course for the Xfinity Series. This will be the first race with our new partner, Yee Yee apparel. I am thrilled to have Yee Yee since I have been a long-time fan and I’m also looking forward to having my friend, country artist Granger Smith there. It’s always exciting to bring a new partner and cool brand into the sport especially when their first race is right in their backyard. The race is going to be exciting for the NASCAR fans and a big unknown for all us drivers since this will be everyone’s first time on the course. Our team has been running consistently in the top-five all season and we are dedicating a lot of time in the TRD Simulator so we can be prepared to make a strong run. This week NASCAR has opened up practice and qualifying; this will be great and our focus is to bring it all together to put our Yee Yee Supra in victory lane for the first race on the 3.41-mile track.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
