So, hopefully, we can get the job done to have one final race with Greg. To have one final race with Greg is going to be really special.”

“Thank you to Ally and Hendrick Motorsports and all the doctors that have helped me. It’s been a long road and a lot of work but excited to be back to a 100% and to be back in a race car. So hope to see you guys out there. We are going to finish the season strong and hopefully get one last win for Greg. See you guys there.”
