QUOTE
JADE BUFORD, DRIVER OF THE NO. 48 BIG MACHINE VODKA SPIKED COOLERS CAMARO
“I’m ready to get to Atlanta this weekend for what is technically the first track that we’ll be paying a visit to for the second time this year. I’m looking forward to using what I learned last time and just being more up to speed on the mile-and-a-half tracks. I’m confident that we can put another strong run together like we did at Texas. I know the guys have been working hard to prepare a fast Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers Camaro for this weekend.”

NOTES
BACK TO HOTLANTA: This weekend, Jade Buford heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway. It will mark his first time returning to the same oval in his NASCAR Xfinity Series career. In his first start at the 1.54-mile track, Buford ran as high as 12th and ultimately finished 26th.

Buford, a veteran road-course racer, is currently embarking on his first full-time season in the NXS and hadn’t raced on an oval prior to 2021. Though still learning, the rookie driver has been impressive thus far. Across 17 starts, Buford has put together nine top-20 finishes, with seven of those coming on ovals. In his most recent start on a mile-and-a-half track, Buford finished a strong 16th at Texas Motor Speedway.

SPIKED COOLERS: Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers are making a splash this summer! The adult vodka juice pouches are made with real fruit juice and come in three refreshing flavors – Tropical, Lemonade and Cranberry. The eco-friendly pouches come eight to a box and can be served chilled or frozen, making them perfect for the pool, the lake, or the racetrack!
