Jack Wood Quote:
“I felt we had some good speed after practice and qualifying. I thought our No. 16 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet was a second or third place car. We ran into the same problem we have had this season when the sun goes away and the track cools down. We expect to be winning these races and we just keep coming up short in the end of the race. ”
