“We were running well early in our Whelen Chevrolet. I was a little tight at the start of the race, but I was confident Jeff Stankiewicz and all the guys on the Whelen team were going improve the balance when we had a chance to work on it. Unfortunately, we had a mechanical problem that ended our day early. It felt like a plug wire was off, but it was more serious. We’ll bounce back strong next weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.”

Austin Hill and the No. 21 United Rentals Chevrolet Team Earn Strong Sixth-Place Finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

We had a really strong United Rentals Chevrolet today. We started the race with a car that was capable of winning. I don’t know if it was from the way the track changed or if our Chevrolet didn’t like the way the rubber was laid down, but we started getting way too tight at the end. We’ve really done a good job all year at making our car better throughout the race and today was one of the races where we went backwards. We were contenders for the win at the start and at the end we finished just outside of the top-five. We’re still in this Championship hunt and I’m excited about taking our battle to Homestead-Miami Speedway because it is one of my favorite tracks.”
