Tristan,<\/strong> who was born in Monterrey, Mexico on March 26, 1949, and emigrated to Dallas, Texas in November 1955. He enlisted in the U.S. Army on February 17, 1969.

TYLER REDDICK QUOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve had some strong runs at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the past, how do you approach this race every year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Coca-Cola 600 is always one of the most special races we run every season. The track is really fun to race on and it always provides really exciting racing for the fans. I got to test at Charlotte Motor Speedway earlier this season in the Next Gen car and it was a good opportunity for our team to learn how the new car runs on the surface. I pushed it pretty hard during testing and ended up spinning a couple times, but I think that helped me realize how to best prepare for this weekend\u2019s race. It\u2019s such a long race and the weather can really impact the track, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coca-Cola 600 is a crown jewel event and is our sport\u2019s way of celebrating Memorial Day, what does it feel like getting to race in the event?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s honestly a really big honor to get to race in the Coca-Cola 600. NASCAR does such an amazing job of honoring our military and making it a special experience for people attending the race and viewing at home. It\u2019s always a really special gift getting to carry the name of a fallen soldier on our windshield and the moment of at the completion of Stage 2 continues to be a special moment. I\u2019m looking forward to the race and honoring Albert F. Tristan and his family and friend all weekend long and I hope to park it in Victory Lane for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
