St. Louis II: Drew Herring preview

DREW HERRING ON GATEWAY

"I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the No. 27 enMotion Ford Fusion this weekend at Gateway. Every time I get the chance to run for this team it's a privilege. The team has made my transition to the Nationwide Series so easy. I've never been to Gateway, but I've had strong runs on flat tracks like Milwaukee and Martinsville in other series. I've been watching DVD's of past races at Gateway trying to learn as much about the track as I can before we get there. Hopefully this is the weekend that everything falls into place and we get the solid finish that I know we are capable of!"

CREW CHIEF JOHN REESE ON GATEWAY

"Gateway is an exciting combination of short-track turns and high-speed straightaways. It will be the first track that I will go to for a second time since being promoted to crew chief, so I'm really looking forward to it. In addition to getting settled in as a crew chief, it will be my fifth time working with Drew so we know what to expect from each other. I think for both of us, this will be the most comfortable and well prepared we will be going into a race. It's the last stand-alone race of the season, so we need to take advantage of not having as many Cup drivers at the track this weekend. Other teams that normally have top-notch drivers in their cars will also be running younger drivers. I think that Drew will take advantage of the opportunity to showcase his talents and make a name for himself this weekend."
