“Our Bennett Transportation & Logistics Chevrolet was a handful today at Portland International Raceway. During practice earlier this morning, I thought we were really close to having a chance to compete for the win. Unfortunately, the balance shifted, and we fought to regain it throughout the race. No one on the No. 21 team gave up and we continued to make the best of the situation. If we would have had one more caution at the end, I think we could have gotten a top-10 finish. We will keep working hard to make our cars better. We’ve been close to picking up a road course win many times, and we have another opportunity next week at Sonoma Raceway.”

“Our No. 2 Whelen team never gave up today at Portland International Raceway. We started from the rear and were able to consistently move forward. The car needed more drive, but Danny (Stockman) and our team kept working on it. It overall wasn’t our greatest performance, but the sign of a great team is how you keep battling through challenges. With the amount of front and rear damage that our car had and then having to pit under green to make repairs, our race could have very easily been over. The guys did a solid job of fixing the damage and after a couple of cautions, we were able to get back on the lead lap to finish inside the top-20. We will go back to the drawing board this week and be better next week at Sonoma Raceway.”
