“The Rubbin’ is Racing Silverado had a lot of speed at the end of the race. It was kind of the same story for me all year, it took too long to find that speed. We were able to work our way up to seventh on that last restart and kind of just got collected in the late-race carnage. It sucks that it ended that way. We were moving in the right direction at the end of the year, and I learned a lot. It’s been an honor to drive these trucks and be part of this team. I wish we had one more shot at it, but I learned a lot that will help me as I move along in my career.”
