Top-5 Result In Track Debut at Loudon for Grant Enfinger
“Overall we were good – a lot of fun – first time running Loudon. Everybody on this RIDE TV Tundra did really good. We unloaded yesterday with good speed, we really had good speed all day. At the drop of the green flag, we were a little too tight to run competitively, but after that, Jeff Hensley (Crew chief) tuned on her, and we were really good after that. Just struggled a little bit with track position. If we could have ever restarted in front of those guys, I don’t think they could have got back around us, but we weren’t quite good enough to get to them and pass them.”

Crafton Leads Laps, Scores a Top-10 Finish in the First Round of the Playoffs
“Track position was everything. We were a little bit off without a doubt, but we really got screwed by NASCAR on the last call with the 98 (Grant Enfinger), our teammate. We were running in front of him and he was literally three-tenths behind us on track, the yellow comes out and they put him in front of me and he starts whatever eighth, and I’m ninth on the bottom, and we lost spots. It’s so tough on the bottom. Overall, not a terrible effort. Good points day if you want to call it that.”

Rhodes Lead Laps – Scores Track-Best Finish in the First Round of the Playoffs
“Our day started off really strong, and we kind of faded as the day went on. Everyone was driving really crazy early in the race. Track position was everything, so getting positions on the restarts were key. We unfortunately were in the wrong lane on the restarts all day – got stuck on the bottom. It’s ok, we took a risk with that two-tire stop, to get our Safelite Tundra up front. Unfortunately, it just didn’t pay off. As the day went on, we just got more loose and ultimately couldn’t make up those spots.”

Coughlin Scores Track-Best Finish in the UNOH 175 at Loudon
“The day didn’t start the way we wanted it to with a sliced tire in qualifying, but we didn’t give up and battled hard all day long, and came out of here with a decent finish. I’m proud of my guys for never giving up and giving me a good JEGS.com Tundra. Now it’s on to Vegas and we’ll see what we can do there.”
