Eric Johnson Jr. Quote:
On The First Half of The Season.:
“Since our last race I’ve been doing all i can to keep moving forward on our end as we prepare for the last stint of the season going into Madera. I’ve never been to Madera before but after showing promising speed at Tri-City, I feel we’ve got a great starting point. Hopefully all our preparation will help us get our Pacific Office Automation Chevrolet up front these next two weeks.”
