Spencer Gallagher Quote:

“Since the start of the ARCA Racing Series season I’ve had New Jersey Motorsports Park circled on my calendar. As a former road racer, there is no better challenge then to return to the form of racing that I knew first and showing off my skill. New Jersey is a technical track with just the right amount of passing capability, and I can’t wait to show everyone what my No. 23 Allegiant Travel GMS Racing Chevrolet can do.”
