Mason Massey Pre-Race Quote:
On Kansas Speedway: “I can’t think of a better place to be going to keep our good momentum going. Kansas is a place I’ve always liked and gotten around pretty well.
“It’s my favorite mile and a half because there’s a good amount of tire wear, and you’re able to run all the way from the bottom to the top. After having a couple of weeks off, I can’t wait to get back in the seat and go to work for my Young’s Motorsports guys!”
