How was your day?
“Our Sunbelt Rentals Tundra was pretty good all night. I just worked on learning, getting all the laps in and being conservative throughout the entire race. We worked back and forth on handling. I feel like we started a little free and then got a little tight and went back to a little free. Overall, I learned a lot, and it was good to get all the laps in. There will a lot of positive takeaways for the next one as I learn how to drive these Tundras.”
