“We gave it our all tonight to try to make our first NASCAR All-Star Race, but it just didn’t come together this time. Our No. 8 Food City Chevrolet was way too loose to fire off tonight, and that caused us to fall back at the start of the Open and receive some damage on the initial start. We were able to tighten it up a lot during the first Stage break, but unfortunately received some additional damage to our nose on the restart. We kept with it though and did everything we could to try to get up there to win one of the final two stages, but it just wasn’t our night. We can at least take this experience back to the shop to continue building our notebook on Bristol Motor Speedway and hopefully come back here in the fall with a strong set-up for the race.”
