David Starr on competing at Charlotte Motor Speedway
“The No. 81 Zachry Toyota team has been building a lot of momentum over the last few weeks. I finished seventh at Charlotte Motor Speedway last year and I’m excited about our chances going into the race this weekend. Everyone back at the shop has been working extremely hard and we’ve had some really strong trucks over the last few weeks. I love racing, but it’s really exciting to know that every week when we show up at the track we have the chance to race for the victory.”

Crew Chief Doug Wolcott on racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway
“Racing at Charlotte is always a lot of fun and the No. 81 Zachry team is fortunate enough to have one of the most experienced drivers at the track behind the wheel of our Tundra. We had two consecutive top-10 finishes at Kansas and Dover, and we hope to back it up with another top 10 finish this weekend at Charlotte. We’re excited to have Zachry back on the hood of our Tundra. Everyone on the No. 81 team hopes that we can adjust our Toyota truck enough throughout the weekend that by the time the checkered flag falls on Friday night we’ll be right there racing for the win.”
