Dennis Setzer on the Kentucky Speedway: “Kentucky Speedway is somewhat like Kansas in that is it smooth and wide with plenty of racing room. We have had very solid runs since the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series started racing here in 2000. We have come close to winning a couple of times. I am confident Danny (Gill, crew chief) and the guys know exactly what we need in the truck so we unload good and really spend our practice time fine-tuning our race setup. We need a strong run in Kentucky after the bad luck we had at Kansas last weekend.”

ON DISAPPOINTMENT AT KANSAS: “We sure didn’t want to get wrecked before the second lap was even over but that just happens sometimes. The competition is so tough in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series that everyone is anxious to get an edge early in the race. Some times it works and some times it doesn’t. You have to expect bad luck every now and then; which is why we need to focus on our one-race-at-a-time strategy to run near the front and get solid top-three to top-five finishes. Everything else will take care of itself.”
