MATT CRAFTON WITHSTANDS WILD FINISH FOR 10TH TOP-10 FINISH OF 2018 SEASON
 
“We were just a little tight all day long. Junior [Joiner] and the guys kept working on it to free it up. We got better, but we still need just a little bit more. The 18 truck was really, really good all day, but I felt like we could’ve run with him if we kept freeing it up. All in all, not a terrible day. We got a lot of stage points – that’s all that matters, I guess. I think we’re going to have a really good truck when we go to Las Vegas. I’m really looking forward to it. Then, Talladega will be the crap shoot, to be totally honest. We’ll hopefully get to go to Vegas and win us one.”

LATE-RACE SPIN FORCES BEN RHODES TO SETTLE 14TH AT CANADIAN TIRE MOTORSPORT PARK
 
“We started off strong, leading for a few laps of the race. Noah Gragson was charging really hard at us, so I let him go – held on to it and actually put up a fight back towards him. He just had more straightaway speed than us. He got down the straights just a little bit faster than us. We’ll go back to the shop and figure out what we can do there to pick up some more speed and to be able to compete a little more with these guys. Overall, we had a very strong truck. It’s unfortunate there on the last lap, we got rear-ended by Sauter and knocked us around. We were able to salvage a 14th-place finish for the day.”

GRANT ENFINGER FACES TOUGH END TO STRONG RUN AT CANADIAN TIRE MOTORSPORT PARK
 
“Not quite the finish we deserved today, but our ThorSport Racing Champion Power Equipment Ford team did a great job in giving us a good truck. Things got crazy at the end and unfortunately, we came out on that bad end of it. We will rebound and be ready for Vegas. Thank you to Ford Performance for all of their help in getting us up to speed on the road course.”

MYATT SNIDER DRIVES THROUGH TOUGH DAY AT CANADIAN TIRE MOTORSPORT PARK
 
“It was a wild race in Canada today. I had a lot of fun today driving around the road course this weekend, but we just didn’t have the best race. The team did their best to adjust on the truck all day. I’m really proud of my guys for trying to get this truck under me. We’re going to Vegas next – one of our strongest tracks. We had a good run there earlier this year, so I’m looking forward to that. Overall, we had a fun time at the road course, we just need to aim differently next year.”
