Terry Cook on racing at Dover International Speedway . . .

“We’ve never had a race here with good luck on our side.  In last year’s race, we qualified in the top 10 but cut a hole in the radiator and had a couple of tires cut down in the race.  It seems every year we race at Dover, something happens to us.  I think we’re due for a little luck here at Dover International Speedway.”


Terry Cook on the hire of Jamie Jones as crew chief . . .

“It’s very important for Ford Power Stroke® Diesel by International® Racing and ppc Racing to have what I call a “Father Figure” in place, a go-to guy.  We’ve had a lot of people at ppc Racing step up and have helped out tremendously but you’re still looking for that one guy to make the final call.  It’s good to have that person in place.  We have the utmost confidence in Jamie to deliver exactly what we’re looking for.  We’ll start off working together for those top-10 runs and catapult that into top-fives and then to race wins.”
