MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 Fisher Nuts/Menards F-150 – WHAT HAPPENED? “I saw some people getting turned up in front of me and I got hooked in the right-rear. The next thing I knew I was facing the fence and hit head-on.” YOUR STATUS IN THE NEXT ROUND IS STILL UNKNOWN. HOW FRUSTRATING IS IT TO BE OUT OF YOUR HANDS? “That’s Talladega for you. It’s all out of your hands from when we drop the green. I mean, when you’re racing and people are side-by-side bouncing off each other like that. We did everything we could do the first two segments and let her fly from there.”

“I have to thank Pedigree and all the folks at Kyle Busch Motorsports, Toyota and TRD (Toyota Racing Development). We have a really fast Toyota Tundra here. Pedigree is making this all happen. Letting me race with my son (Todd Gilliland) on his first superspeedway race is absolutely incredible. It’s the most meaningful race I’ve ever raced in.
