Tim George Jr.:

Are you excited about racing at Salem Speedway?

"I'm excited to race at the first short track of the ARCA schedule. This will be my third time at Salem, but the first time at a short track with RCR. I'm looking forward to putting that Chevy power down with my guys who have been hard at work, because we have a busy next three weeks on the racing calendar."
