WHAT THEY’RE SAYING<\/p>\n

AUSTIN THERIAULT, Driver of the No. 57 Varney Insurance Ford, On heading back to White Mountain Motorsports Park this weekend: \u201cI thought it was a track that was kind of tough to pass on. Everyone tries to run that bottom groove. It’s a track that I’m looking forward to getting back to and getting comfortable at. The results \u2013 we’ve only been there one time \u2013 haven’t really shown how good we can be there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can get your car working on the bottom groove and have good bite off the corners, you’ll be hard to beat. I’m really looking forward to getting to the track this weekend and getting into our rhythm again.\u201d<\/p>\n

On improving each week on the ACT Late Model Tour: \u201cThe past couple of weeks have been a challenge, I’d say. Like we’ve talked about earlier, we’re still making strides in the right direction \u2013 the whole team, myself and everyone, they’re working as hard as we can to try and improve our performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOxford was another struggle, but everyone’s working hard. I think that we’ll come out of this in good shape. This weekend will be an opportunity for us not only to have fun, but to have a good finish \u2013 to show everyone we can run up front.\u201d<\/p>\n

On getting things turned around as the summer starts to get busy: \u201cWe kind of had a little team meeting to talk about our struggles. I think that we’re all coming around. Everyone’s on the same page, and that’s the most important thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we’re at the point now where things should start to come together and we’ll start seeing that. It’s just like we talked about at the start of the season \u2013 we knew there was going to be learning curve and we know there’s still lots of work to do. We’re ready for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
