Finishing Position: 4th
How was your race overall tonight?
“Overall, good. It’s a new team with TRICON and I really appreciate everyone over at the shop at TRICON Garage and Toyota Racing, Safelite and everyone that makes this happen. Got some work to do for sure to compete for wins. The 51 (Kyle Busch) was pretty much untouchable tonight. Just can’t stress it enough, awesome job by my guys, they’ve put in a lot of work and hoping to get this Safelite Tundra in victory lane soon.”
What did you feel you need to work on moving forward on intermediate tracks?
“I think just some differences from what I felt last year. There is definitely a lot of potential. Finishing fourth on our first true testament to speed as far as an intermediate race track goes, which is Las Vegas of course. There was some stuff that I felt that I really know we can make some progress on and I have a lot of confidence that we can get there.”
