COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang – “We were pretty fast at the start and I made a mistake speeding on pit road and that put us behind. We just didn’t have anything after about 40 laps. We worked hard and I thought we had a lot better shot at it, but we’ll move on to the next one.” YOU BACK TO THE TOP FIVE, BUT COULDN’T GET ALL THE WAY THERE. “I think we were a third-place car on the short run, but all of those guys were in the way and you just get stuck. It’s part of it, but we’ll... Читать дальше...

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 MCDONALD’S CAMARO ZL1 – Qualified 6th - ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT RUN? “Yeah, I mean it’s okay I guess. You would always like to be a little bit better.

Coming to Bristol, one of our best places after last weekend – certainly a positive. Have to understand that it’s a completely different track, completely different circumstances and what’s going on. We’re going to do everything we can to try to back that up and try to win again. We’ll see what... Читать дальше...
