Steve Arpin
No. 7 JRM Chevrolet

“I haven’t raced with the 7 team for a couple weeks, but I was able to test the new car with them at Daytona last week. Racing these cars is still a new challenge for me. My races at Darlington and Richmond were tough, but I’m looking forward to Charlotte. It’s a different style track from the ones I’ve been racing on with the No.7 team. Right now, I just want to learn as much as I can. Running on a new track gives me plenty of opportunity to do that.

“There will be a lot of Cup drivers in this race too. That will give me the chance to get in line and gain some insight during the practice sessions. We haven’t had the best of luck the past few races, so we haven’t had the finishes we deserve. This is all part of the growing process, but I’m hopeful for a top-15 finish at Charlotte.

ARPIN APPEARANCE – Canadian Steve Arpin returns to the seat of the No. 7 JRM Chevrolet at Charlotte, marking his first NNS race at the 1.5-mile speedway. Arpin’s three previous starts for the No. 7 team this season came at Talladega, Richmond and Darlington. He notched his best finish of 25th at Richmond. Additionally, the 26-year-old has two wins, three top-five and four top-10 finishes in six ARCA starts this year.
