Johnny Sauter – 2019 Canada Recap
"Las Vegas is a must-win situation mentality. That’s what I’m going to do, and I know my guys will, too.

Johnny Sauter – 2019 Bristol Recap
“My night was just ruined by myself. I got loose under the No. 8 (John Hunter Nemechek) truck and wrecked myself. It was a racing deal. It hurts me way worse than it hurts him. I just screwed up.
