- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“Overall a decent day in Las Vegas. 16th isn’t too bad compared to last year how we started the season when we came back to the hauler on jack stands. So it’s definitely a better night for us. We just fought a free-handling truck early on and over-adjusted on it. The track changed a lot with the weather and rain coming in. We ultimately just ended the race too tight, but we picked up some spots at the end and can work on it before we go to Homestead. Thank you to J.F. Electric and Utilitra for their support of our team.”
