"Holmes looking to win on the road course"
“I'm extremely excited to be going back to PIR and am looking for my first road-course win at Portland,” said Holmes. “Our NAPA Toyota Camry road course car has been very fast in the past two road course races. Although we have had a few problems this year, we will continue to give it our all and win some races. There are always great NAPA customers in the greater Portland area and I look forward to seeing you all there.”
Holmes is currently fifth is the championship point standings and only 19 points out of the top-three.
