Terry Cook on racing in Charlotte . . .
“It’s prestigious to have a race at Charlotte. Once the fans in the Charlotte area got a taste of truck racing, I think they’re going to come back in bigger crowds.  This is the hub of NASCAR Racing.  I’m sure we’re going to put on a good show for the race fans.  I personally love night racing and going fast on the big tracks.  I think it’s some of the best racing because the track is more suited to the trucks.  The track is temperature sensitive in the cup event when they start in the early evening and end late at night so they’re constantly chasing the setup, whereas our race starts and ends at night.”
