Around the World in Motorsports: Aug. 20 |
Frontstretch Line of the Week "I‘ve been extremely close way too many times. One, it would be a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, finally being able to go to victory lane, and just excitement. It’s hard to go 3.5 years without winning. It’s tough mentally at times, but I’m sure we’ll do a good job celebrating." - Sheldon Creed on what finally getting a win in the Xfinity Series will feel like. |
