RYAN BLANEY, No. 22 Fitzgerald Glider Kits Ford Mustang - Finishing Position: 4th “We had a good car. We got better there after the second stop and the third stint but we couldn’t hang on very long. Lost the lead there and couldn’t pass anybody. At worst we should have run second, but it just didn’t work out that way today.”
