PAUL MENARD QUOTE:
How do you think the night race will shake out this weekend at Kansas Speedway?
“Kansas is a pretty newly repaved track so it’s extremely fast. Since it’s a night race it will be even faster than during the day. I enjoy night racing, I think it adds another level of excitement. You can see flames from the exhaust and sparks from under the car which makes it cool for the fans. The only downside is we have to wait all day for the race and there really isn’t much to do. I enjoy it, but I’ll be there ready to go whether it’s Sundayafternoon or Saturday night.”
