Kris Wright Pre-Race Quote:
On Darlington Raceway: "I wanted something epic to drive at Darlington Raceway this weekend — and this is it. We wanted to do a bona fide truck throwback, not a cup or Xfinity throwback that ended up on a truck. It just doesn't feel right to intermingle schemes from one series into another series.
"This paint scheme hasn't been done before, and it's one of the most historic designs from the 2000s. Ron was an iconic truck series champion, and I am happy to celebrate him with a throwback in his honor."
On 2021 Season: “We are heading to Darlington hoping to change our luck. We haven’t had the finishes we wanted over the past couple of races, but it has not come from a lack of effort from everyone on the Young’s Motorsports team.
“I’m definitely optimistic about my Darlington debut, but I feel we can have a throwback performance on Friday night if everything goes our way.”

Spencer Boyd Pre-Race Quotes:
On Darlington Raceway: “I take the Darlington weekend very seriously. I love what NASCAR and Darlington have done with this (throwback) weekend. It allows me to look back at racing history to find something special to me, our team, or our sport and this year is no different.
“Jack Sprague was part of the inaugural year trucks ran back in 1995. He is a three-time champion. He paved the way for guys like me, so I’m honored he’s letting me run his paint scheme.”
On Partnering With Credit MRI: “I used to sell cars back in my part-time NASCAR days. “I would see many hard-working people unable to get approved for a car because of simple strikes on their credit reports.
“Credit MRI is helping those folks, without charging them upfront, navigate the confusing path of credit recovery. Anything that helps hard-working Americans is high on my list!”
