Chatting with Myatt Snider…
“As a team, I feel like we’re going in the right direction as we roll into Kentucky Speedway. In past starts at the track, I’ve been blessed to be in good equipment, and this year will be no different. In last year’s race, ThorSport Racing had three trucks in the top-four in the first stage, so it shows the strength of this team. I’ve been leaning on my notes from my last two starts, as well as film, in an effort to keep me on top of my game. All of this will come into play this week as we do our best to maintain our momentum. We have some of the hardest working guys in the business on the No. 13 FarmPaint.com Ford F-150, and that gives me all the confidence in the world going into Thursday night’s race.”
