Ford Performance NASCAR: Michigan NXS (Riley Herbst Accident Quotes) - Speedway Digest

RILEY HERBST, No. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang Dark Horse

(Retired early due to damage in an accident on lap 48)

“We had a really fast race car. I thought we had a shot at it there. I was picking them off on the restarts and working my way back up. I thought it was coming to us. I thought we were better than a lot of people in front of us. We had a huge run on the 39 off of Turn 2 and I went to his inside and thought I was clear. Obviously, I wasn’t clear. It is a bummer deal. We will bounce back at Daytona and try to get another win.”

DOES THE INDIANAPOLIS WIN MAKE THIS EASIER TO SWALLOW? “Yeah, for sure. We are locked into the playoffs and have really fast race cars. I was trying to put myself into the position to try to win the second stage because who knows if that was going to be the end of the race or not with the rain coming. I just fought and fought. I don’t know. We will watch the film and see what I can learn and we will go to Daytona.”
