RPM. The inaugural year for the N.E.S.T Series racing, are you having to adapt to the different tracks making changes to the rules and set up?
Sirois. No matter what the class is you have to make changes to the setups from track to track. The rules have not had any changes. Being the inaugural year I am going with the flow and just concentrating on getting the truck counts up therefore putting on a good show.
RPM. How did NEST Series get started?
Sirois. Nest got started as a result of my accident in 09 I knew I needed some time to heal before I would drive again, but wanted to stay involved. There had been talk by other drivers to get a series formed, Russ Anderson and I had worked on the rules and both of us are still working on relationships with more tracks.
