Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Atlanta:
“Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. It’s rough and fast. Last year, we ran solidly in the top-10 for a majority of the race so I’m looking forward to getting on track there this weekend. During the off-season, we focused on our intermediate program so this will allow us to see how we stack up. We will keep adjusting on our Ford and hopefully can leave Atlanta with a solid finish.”
