QUOTEBOOK
“At the beginning of the season, if someone would’ve told me this was the way we would be standing at this point in the year, I would’ve never believed it. But I’ve had a lot of guys tell me this is the way it just seems to go sometimes. You feel like you just can’t catch a break. Our overall goals may have changed a little, but we still go into every weekend looking to win just like everyone else.” – Reed Sorenson (#41 Discount Tire Co. Dodge).
