TOYOTA QUOTES

WILLIAM SAWALICH, No. 1 Starkey/Soundgear Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, TRICON Garage

Finishing Position: 6th

Can you talked about what you learned and another career-best result?

“The ARCA race – I really learned a lot from that. It was a little hotter, a little slicker. Once it cooled off, the track definitely picked up grip – especially front grip. We fired off a little tight in stage one, but we fixed it. We had a really fast pit stop – I think we picked up five spots, so I was really happy with that. TRICON Garage gave me a really fast SoundGear Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.”

COREY HEIM, No. 11 Safelite Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, TRICON Garage

Finishing Position: 8th

Can you talk about your race and outlook heading into Milwaukee?

“I don’t think it was a bad effort overall. Obviously, we want to win – but we are points racing to try to get to Phoenix. We did just that today. Hopefully, we extended our lead a little bit and head to Milwaukee, which is going to be tough for us as a team, but proud of TRICON Garage and Toyota Racing for their efforts. Definitely a contending Safelite Toyota Tundra TRD Pro tonight – the 98 (Ty Majeski) was just by far the best. We have a little bit of work to do, but I think we have some good tracks coming up for us.”
