“I don’t really know why this track has been so good to me, but today it was a d**n good racetrack for some reason.”

“Really proud of [crew chief] Adam Stevens, our entire pit crew. Everyone knows the pit crew, well I don’t know if everyone knows our pit crew struggles. We’ve gone through a lot of them this year.

“Obviously, we had a bigger overhaul a couple of weeks ago. Last two weeks they’ve done a really good job.”
