Matt Tifft on Kentucky
(Xfinity Series) 5 Starts | 1 Top-5 | 3 Top-10
Best Finish: 5th

"Kentucky used to be a completely different track before the repave and now it's smooth as glass. We're using a harder tire compound this weekend, which means that, because of the smooth racetrack, there's not a whole lot of tire falloff but there's a lot of speed. Essentially, what we're looking for is a car that can run wide open, but you're always trying to play with that last edge of grip, which is where the final amount of speed is. I'm excited to have Southwestern Trucking on the No. 36 Ford this weekend. We couldn't do what we do every weekend without the kind of services their company provides, so I'm looking forward to getting a good result for our partners there."
