TYLER REDDICK QUOTE: 

What are some of the challenges for you as you head to NHMS for the first time in the Cup Series?

"I love the fans up at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and I love the scenery, but that track is one of the trickiest ones on the circuit for me. Back in my NASCAR Truck and Xfinity days, I relied a lot on practice to get comfortable there each year, so that is going to be a challenge for myself and my team to overcome on Sunday. I've started to get a little more comfortable over the years, but I still am not quite where I'd like to be with it. I definitely am leaning a lot on my crew chief, Randall Burnett, to prepare for the race. He always does a great job at these tracks were I'm not as comfortable and setting up our No. 8 Feeding America Chevrolet to be as strong as possible off the truck. I'll also lean on my teammate, Austin Dillon, a lot too this weekend. He likes going to New Hampshire, so I'm hoping he'll have some good notes and feedback to share."
