QUOTES
JADE BUFORD, DRIVER OF THE NO. 48 BIG MACHINE VODKA SPIKED COOLERS CAMARO
“I’m really looking forward to NASCAR’s return to Nashville this weekend and getting the opportunity to race at my home track. It’ll be great to have some of the hometown crowd and everybody from Big Machine there cheering us on. Having that support will hopefully help us keep our positive momentum going. We’ve had some really strong finishes the last few weeks and we want to continue to build on that.”
SCOTT BORCHETTA, TEAM OWNER
“Racing on your home turf is ALWAYS a big deal! We all have put a lot of pressure on ourselves to have a great showing this week, but now it’s time to race. The Big Machine Vodka Spiked Cooler Camaro is getting faster every week and Jade’s confidence is getting stronger every week. We’re here to race and race hard.”
