Finishing Position: 9th
Two top-10’s in a row, and two top-10 finishes today with a strong run in the ARCA race. How would you describe your day at Indianapolis Raceway Park?
“We are really piecing it together here at TRICON. All of my guys and me are clicking and firing on all cylinders, so these next few races are going to be pretty strong. Hopefully, we get a win here soon – we need to get one at Richmond. I think we have a good enough team, and a good enough Thompson Pipe Group Tundra. Hopefully we get it done.”
