Noah Gragson Key Takeaways

“Not the result we came here for, but you’ll have days like that,” said Gilliland. “We kept searching for rear grip and just couldn’t get our car to a spot where we could make progress. We’ll head back to the shop and come back stronger for New Hampshire.”
Zane Smith Key Takeaways
Stage One: 32nd / Stage Two: 37th / Race Result: 36th
“Rough night,” said Smith. “Car was pretty ill-handling and we tried to stretch a tire run and I just lost it out of Turn 2 and knocked the toe out of it. I think we learned some late in the race, so we can take that hopefully and do something with it.”
