Spencer Boyd Pre-Race Quotes:
On Martinsville: “The Truck Series gets a busy day started for me at Martinsville. I like Martinsville and have had two top-15 finishes in my last two races there in a Truck.
“I’d love to turn those top-15 finishes though into our second straight top-10 truck with a cool Credit MRI Halloween paint scheme. Hopefully, we can scare some people out of the way and give us even more confidence heading to the Phoenix finale.”
