In 21 races with Menard, Alexander has led the team to one top-five, 12 top-15 and 16 top-20 starts. He's also collected 17 top-20, 14 top-15 and three top-five finishes.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a hard track to get a hold of. What are your thoughts heading into this weekend?
It's a fun track. You can run on what's kind of like an apron. The bottom groove is flat so it's like having an apron. The fast groove is a little more up so it's like having high banking so you can change your position around a little bit. Everybody runs the same speed and it's extremely hard to pass. Literally, you might have five guys in practice that excel but the rest of the field is running the same speed which makes track position extremely important. It's definitely a cool track. - Paul Menard
