RYAN BLANEY (No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion) -- Finished 4th - WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON TONIGHT? “Yeah, it happens I guess. We weren’t very good on the long run. I felt that we had a great short run car tonight and I thought that was going to play right into our hands at the end. The 78 got us on that restart somehow. I don’t know. I was super loose there on the last restarts and the 78 got me spinning my tires a little bit. It kind of stinks. I think that it says a lot about this team to go out and lead some laps and go have a shot and win races.”
