Bliss is familiar with the 1.058 mile flat track located in the Granite State, having finished fourth in the Nationwide event held there last June.
Key Motorsports personnel have worked feverishly over the past few days to provide Bliss with the best car possible, loading the No. 40 into the teams 18-wheel transporter with the goal their tireless efforts will pay off with a top 15 finish in Saturday's 175-lap battle of man and machine. "The car should be good in New Hampshire, Mike knows how to get around there and knows what he wants in the car," shared Crew Chief Gary Showalter.
