David Starr on competing at Iowa Speedway

“I’m really excited to go back to Iowa Speedway.  It’s a really cool track and an exceptional facility.  I was caught up in an unfortunate incident during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ last stop at the track, but with the momentum we have going on our team I think we have a good shot at contending for the win.”

Crew Chief Doug Wolcott on racing at Iowa Speedway

“Everyone on the No. 81 Randy Moss Motorsports team is ready to get back to the track.  We worked really hard during the break and we’re ready for the nine-race stretch.  Before the break, we had some strong momentum building as a result of several strong trucks and good performances.  Hopefully we’ll be able to continue to build on that and make it to victory lane within the next few weeks.”
