Greg Van Alst Pre-Race Quote:
On The Milwaukee Mile: “I am ready to get back after it this weekend from The Milwaukee Mile. My NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series debut with Young’s Motorsports did not go as planned, so I hope for a significant rebound on Sunday afternoon.
“I am also hoping that my previous experience at The Milwaukee Mile will prove to be somewhat beneficial throughout the race. I know I am still learning how to manhandle one of these trucks, but for an inaugural event, I believe any driver with any experience on the surface will have a slight advantage.
