Driver Mike Bliss on Racing the No. 11 RIDEMAKERZ Toyota:

"The good part is, I've run at Dover with Paul Wolfe before. He's a good crew chief and has really good guys who care about what they're doing. So, together we've run well before, and the crew works well together, so it should be a good match-up."

Driver Mike Bliss on Dover:

"I like concrete. For some reason, I do well on concrete. I don't know why, but percentage-wise I do better at places like Dover and Bristol. So I enjoy this track and I'm looking forward to it."
