Noteworthy: Schumacher enjoyed a solid showing at the Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals earlier this month, having advanced to the final elimination quad

Quotable:
“I’m looking forward to getting back to Charlotte, and the four-wide style of racing. We had a really good outing in Vegas when we ran four-wide there a few weeks ago, and advanced to the final quad. I’m getting used to racing that way; it’s only taken me 15 some odd years to get used to racing four-wide but it’s actually more fun than I had remembered. Up until Vegas, it had been a couple of years since I raced a four-wide event, so I can’t wait to have another crack at it this weekend. I love Charlotte. zMAX Dragway is an awesome facility. Hoping for great weather conditions, and looking forward to seeing a packed crowd out there.”
