REARVIEW MIRROR – ROCKINGHAM: Germán Quiroga entered Rockingham Speedway with the mind set of ‘race the race track’ and to exercise patience over the long 200-lap event. After qualifying in the 23rd position, Quiroga, was looking for speed early in his No. 77 Net10 Wireless Toyota Tundra racing the high groove where all the grip could be found. Unfortunately, he was battling a loose truck for the majority of the race while minimizing tire wear. With the race having an element of instruction in it for the Rookie of the Year contender, Quiroga gained knowledge as a driver and collected four positions finishing 19th.

Germán Quiroga talks about Kansas Speedway:
“I’ve learned a lot about aero and track position and how important it is at those types of tracks. There are also a lot of adjustments that the team can make to help the driver. You really have to work with your crew chief to tell him what you are feeling and what your Toyota Tundra needs. As a driver there isn’t much you can gain in speed if your Tundra is not dialed in correctly. I’m really looking forward to being in great equipment at a 1.5-mile track and see what my true potential is"
"I've been learning a lot. The first time I was in a truck, it was another year before I got back into the truck. Now that it's consistent, I have the momentum and I feel like that in itself is an advantage. As much as we have learned in these three races, I feel like it will pay off for the next 19."
