Bill Davis Racing Quotes:
Bill Lester on racing at Nashville Superspeedway:
I like Nashville because its just like the 1.5-mile tracks we race on, although its a little shorter. Im comfortable at those types of tracks. I also like the consistency of the concrete surface at Nashville.
Nashville is similar to Kansas Speedway in that they both have sweeping turns. Those types of turns are more like road racing turns, which suits my driving style and background. Ive been comfortable racing at Nashville since my first start there, and we ran well there last year. I expect more of the same this time around.
Nashville is an important place for Toyota. They bring a crowd of people to the track, and its neat to see how excited they are about the racing program. That excitement really motivates us to do well for them. Its like racing in front of your hometown fans.
