Finishing Position: 4th
First off, you are locked into the next round of the Playoff, what is your emotions on hearing that?
“It’s a good deal. The Playoff points really paid off. It really just shows our consistency throughout the season getting stage points, and the Playoff bonus. I’m supe proud of TRICON Garage, Safelite, Toyota Racing for everything they do for me, and huge thank you to them as well. It makes Kansas a lot easier. I thought Kansas was the perfect cut off race for me anyway, because I love that track and I feel like I’m really good there, so it allows us to go and chase a win, and I wish now Kansas was in the next round, I guess.”
