QUOTES
JADE BUFORD, DRIVER OF THE NO. 48 BIG MACHINE VODKA SPIKED COOLERS CAMARO
“We’re excited to head back to Martinsville this weekend with our Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers Camaro. We learned a lot throughout the race our first time there and came away with a decent result. It’s definitely why I’m looking forward to going back. Short tracks have been a strong suit for us, and they seem to fit my driving style. Closing out the year with Martinsville and Phoenix gives us good potential to end the season on a high note.”
NOTES
RETURN TO THE PAPERCLIP: Earlier this season in Jade Buford’s first start at Martinsville Speedway, the rookie NASCAR Xfinity Series driver scored a 19th-place finish.
