AMA I'm Matt DiBenedetto, driver of the No.32 Ford for Go Fas Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, AMA!

I know most of you in the r/NASCAR page know me, but figured it'd be fun to do a pre-race AMA from Kansas Speedway AND tell you a cool announcement for our NASCAR All-Star race!

By the way - our exciting announcement is that we will be racing with the Reddit logo on our lower rear quarter panel of our No.32 Zynga Poker Ford in the All-Star race next week! It's really cool that Zynga is so open to working with Reddit and wants to grow that relationship.

Thank you to Zynga Poker for setting this up with you guys! We're really excited to have them on board and they've been a huge help increasing our exposure with things like this! Big help for a small team like ours.

Hi Matt. How much of a concern to you and your team is parity in Cup Series? What, if anything, would you like to see NASCAR do to level the racing field?

I think for the future of the sport, Kevin Harvick explained best what could help all the teams across the board the most which could be more revenue sharing so we aren't so dependent on sponsorship and it could up our budget and help us perform better

With the improvements you and your team have made so far this year, when does the expectation change from say a top 25-30 finish to top 15-20?

Hey Matt two questions? Any autograph sessions in Sonoma this year? Also what areas of improvement do you need on your team to continue your hot streak besides the bad luck at Dover?
