"We may have finished 10th, but this result doesn't show how fast our No. 2 Tunity Camaro was all weekend long. My team worked hard during both practice sessions to get our Chevrolet to where I could run the top lane, and I thought we were in a good spot for the race."

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang -- CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR NIGHT TONIGHT? “Yeah, it is a little bittersweet because you win one and you lose one. It means a lot to our team to win the owners championship. When we started last year, it is unbelievable how far we have come and how hard everyone has worked. To get to this point now, I can’t thank everybody enough. We just came up a little short. It just didn’t play out there at the end for us.”

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang -- WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST STAGE AND TOWARD THE END? “First off, congrats to Tyler. I’m happy for him. He could run the wall better than I could at the end there and we were so far back from our pit stop with their strategy that once I got to him it seemed like our tires kind of equalled out and then he started running the top and I couldn’t keep up with him. It is what it is. It was a solid day. We had a fast car, we just didn’t have it play out right at the end.”

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford Fusion -- “We’ve just been off as far as getting the front tires to turn today in qualifying trim and that’s all we’ve done. The Jimmy John’s Ford was just plowing tight the first time we went out, chattering the tires. We made it better the second round and then the third round it was just too tight in one and two down there, where we were okay in the first two rounds. We got tight down there and still tight down there, so we’ll go to work on it. We didn’t qualify that good here last year either, so we definitely need to figure out what we’ve got to do in qualifying trim, but hopefully our race stuff is good.”
