Can you describe the racing out there today and your run to a podium finish?
“I feel like we had a very good Monster Energy Toyota GR Supra. It was just a little bit tight there. I feel like we improved a lot from last year. Third place is good. We will take a podium finish and we will take a good points day. Not a lot of chaos out there, which is making my life a little easier this week. I just want to thank all of the fans watching. I want to thank Toyota, Monster Energy. I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hopefully, we can go on to Darlington and run good with our Interstate Batteries throwback car.”
Solid third-place finish for you today. How was your race?
“I feel like we had a very fast Monster Energy Toyota GR Supra, almost as fast as Xfinity wifi. My guys never gave up – they always keept working. We were just a little bit off. I felt like we needed just a few more adjustments to stay with the 8 (Josh Berry) and the 7 (Justin Allgaier). Congrats to Josh. Hopefully we can go into next week – I feel like Darlington is a good place. I threw it away there last year, but hopefully we have a shot to win this year.”
