Dennis Setzer on Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“Morgan-Dollar Motorsports has had a lot of success at this track over
the past few years. We finished third here the last two seasons and had
trucks capable of winning the race just about every time we have been here
together. The track is awesome and allows for lots of side-by-side racing.
It should be another great show for the fans.”
Dennis Setzer on his finish at New Hampshire (9/18):
“By far this wasn’t our best effort of the season performance-wise, but our
whole team battled all weekend to overcome some of the adversity we faced to
scratch out a decent finish. Maybe this type of effort will help us get back
into the form we had earlier in this year.”
