“I thought we had a shot at it there, just kind of got used up at the end,” said Riggs. “Nothing went our way all day, from not getting to qualify, having to fix repairs to the back window under caution. Man, I just think everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, and somehow we still finished up front and had a shot to win. Good points day, but definitely one that got away. This stings a lot, but thank you, Aaron’s. Thank you to Ford Racing. Thank you to everybody at Front Row Motorsports for trying their hardest, and we’ll go get them next week.”

“It was a good night, I suppose,” said Smith. “I wish we were out there celebrating but didn’t have a lot of things go for us tonight. The No. 38, Speedy Cash Ford F-150 was fast but it just wasn’t meant to be. We’ll take our solid 10th-place finish and move on.”
