Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on the Upcoming Events at Kansas Speedway:

“I love Kansas. I’m excited about going. I’m excited about going to any race but Kansas is a special place to me. I have great friends there and I met one of the most amazing people out there last year. A young kid by the name of Ben that was battling cancer but still had such a great outlook in life. It was also the same weekend I won my second ARCA Re/Max Series race so I have some very fond memories coming back into that track.”

Driver Scott Lagasse Jr. on Racing at Kansas Speedway:

“I like racing at Kansas. A lot of people say it’s just another mile-and-a-half track but I think Kansas has its own little quirks. It’s a good racy place. I battled two-wide with Erik Darnell there last year so it opens up the options for passing and really good racing. Kansas will be a better base line for us as a group to figure out where we are at.”
