BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE:

Share your thoughts on competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

“I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of a (NASCAR) Nationwide Series car for Richard Childress Racing this weekend. To be able to race in front of my hometown crowd makes it even more special. I ran this event for RCR last year, and we had a really good run. I’m hoping we can improve on that success this weekend and take RCR and the South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet to Victory Lane.”
