Connor Zilisch maintains that the championship weekend should be viewed as a success regardless of the outcome.

“I feel like no matter what, um, this year has been a success and and I've tried to remind my guys that and and tell them that no matter what happens this weekend, you know, we don't look at this year as, you know, this weekend defines our season.”

Carson Kvapil believes he is an underdog in the championship race due to a lack of race wins this season compared to his competitors.

“we haven't won a race this year. We've just been really consistent and and knocked out some really good runs and and I think we only have one DNF from a from a blown engine. So it's not been like we run 10th every week and wreck. We just we just run 10th or or we have that that highlight race where ”

Jesse Love asserts that his primary focus is on controlling his own preparation and driving to ensure his best performance.

“the only thing that I feel like I know that I can control 100% is how I show up to the racetrack, how I prepare and and run my next best corner.”

Justin Allgaier believes that drivers in the championship final should focus on being present and enjoying the experience rather than being overly nervous or trying to block everyone out.

“just enjoy it this week cuz it's really easy to get caught up and be nervous and all the stuff.”
