- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“We just didn’t really have the truck tonight. I was trying a lot of different things, but just couldn’t make a change on the balance. Had a clean day for the most part, and it got a little chaotic there at the end. Going into turn one there at the end, we made it into the top-10 and I missed the corner a little bit. I might have got helped, I don’t know, but once I got in the top lane, I fought some more of our balance through the center. We got another top-15, so hopefully we can build on that and keep getting better.”
