Six years after Connor Mosack’s career began on the quarter-mile at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he returns to his hometrack as a NASCAR national series driver.
Mosack, a Charlotte native, will pull double duty this weekend. Friday night, Mosack will run the No. 18 for Joe Gibbs Racing in the ARCA Menards Series before running the No. 24 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race Saturday afternoon for Sam Hunt Racing.
“I think each car can help me with the other,” Mosack said. “It’s back-to-back, but you still get time to climb out of each car and kind of talk about what it’s doing and think about it for a little bit, and then you’re able to get back in and try to apply it all.
“I’m looking forward to the ARCA race, just getting laps and learning different lines and where to put the car in clean and dirty air, and I think that’ll be pretty applicable with the Xfinity car, as well.”
Friday will be Mosack’s third start with Gibbs in the series. In his previous two starts this season, Mosack finished second at Dayt ona and fourth in Kansas. He is slated to run six races for Joe Gibbs Racing.
“Kansas is really wide and has sweeping corners,” said Mosack of his most recent start in the series. “We can actually go wide open, or pretty close to it, in the ARCA car, at least in qualifying. Charlotte has a lot more off-throttle time. It’s narrower and has sharper corners, though it is more banked, so you carry more load there.
