“Today was just a warm up for Road America. We didn’t quite have the car to my liking, but Nick (Harrison, crew chief) and the South Point team fought just as hard as I did in the race car all day long. We made the car better throughout the race but it just wasn’t enough to get up with the leaders. I hated giving up those spots at the end but like I said, this was the warm up. Thanks to Richard Childress and everyone at RCR for giving me this opportunity; it is an honor to wheel this No. 3 Chevrolet. We will be ready to battle in a couple weeks at my favorite road course, Road America.”

“This is definitely a huge point of the year for the Xfinity Series with a stretch of three road courses in four weeks. Mid-Ohio and Road America – where we will go in two weeks – are two of my favorite tracks on the schedule. We had a solid run here at Mid-Ohio last year, and this year we had a little bit of a different package coming into the weekend. Honestly, we struggled with it a little bit from the time we unloaded off the hauler all the way until the start of the race. My crew chief Danny Stockman did a great job having me come down pit road under caution with 15 or 16 laps to go to get four tires. That at least gave us the opportunity to have a shot to race for the win. By that point in the race we were doing all we could to maintain speed and not lose any track position, so it was a great call bringing me down pit road. From there we were able to move forward and race into the top three. I hope the fans enjoyed watching today’s race because it was fun from my vantage point. I’m just really proud of how this No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet team battled all day. We had good pit stops and did everything we could. We just need to work on the package a little bit for when we head to Road America in two weeks.”
