“God is good,” said Smith. “The faith has been tested, especially since the start of the Chase and it’s been literally every single week something, but our faith never wavered though. I’m just very grateful and I’m very humbled for tonight. I just know that that’s from the Lord. Everybody on this No. 38 QuickTie Products Ford F-150, we had a solid truck tonight, especially when it counted. We’ve got one more race left and we’ll try to end that with a bang with these Front Row Motorsports fellas.”

“I felt better on the top on restarts all night long, taking the lead back from the 77,” said Riggs. “I just felt like I was just too loose to fire off on restarts. When you have a good balance on the long run, you have to be too free on the initial runs, so I wanted to take the top. My team kind of differed against that. They didn’t want me to take the top because then you put the control of your race in the guy’s hands on the inside of you. He can use you up. Who knows if he would have played nice or not. Congrats to Chandler on the win. It’s been a little while for those guys, but those bonus points really would have been nice, and even more than that I wanted a grandfather clock really, really bad. We led so many laps. I’m just disappointed. It’s always a shoulda, woulda, could have, but we had a really fast truck. Thank you to Bare Knuckle Boxing, Ford Racing, everybody at Front Row Motorsports. They gave me a really fast truck. You couldn’t ask for much more. I just wish that we were a little bit more prone to being better on short runs. We worked on our long run. Obviously, every time I’d get out front I’d just have a massive lead. I wish I had a little more air in my tires there those last few restarts.”
