Chatting with Ben Rhodes…
“This race will be just as important this year as it was last. Coming back the defending winner, it’s a really good boost of confidence for my team considering the spring race was nothing like we had seen. There was a lot of drafting, and we saw a very, very fast pace. I’m hoping that the 100-degree temperatures coming back here in the fall are really going to change up the racing. It’ll take grip away from our competitors and make it really racy with a lot of sliding around. Right now, we’re solely focused on the Round of 6. If we could make that happen with a win this weekend in Las Vegas, it would mean the world to myself and the No. 41 Carolina Nut Ford F-150 team.”
