Burney on Kentucky Speedway:
"Kentucky is a really cool track to race on. It's wide and fast and you can run wherever you need to for your car. I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the Dollar General Toyota there. The track surface is getting a little rougher each year and my crew chief, Trent Owens, has great experience with shock packages. So I know the No. 32 Camry will be well-prepared for the weekend. We're bringing the car we ran last weekend at Nashville. It's nice to get a second week in a row in the same car. It allows some consistency and we can pick right up in practice where we left off, which is always helpful and lends a slight advantage."
Burney on the fans at Kentucky Speedway:
"There are always a lot of fans that come out for the races at Kentucky Speedway. It is so great to see them out there having fun. We love our fans and if it weren't 'for their support, we wouldn't be racing each week! I would like to say a special thank you to them!"
Equipment Information
The No. 32 Dollar General team will compete with chassis #BR024 in this weekend's Meijer 300 presented by Ritz. Chassis #24 was just on track this past weekend at Nashville Superspeedway where Lamar started 22nd and finished 15th. #24 was also on track at Dover International Speedway (May, 2009) where Brian Vickers started seventh and finished fourth.
