- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts: Interviewer: What happened on the wreck, did something break?
“I don’t really know. The No. 17 threw a late block but it was alright. We got to his inside a little and I don’t know if the steering broke or what. I feel like I got behind on the steering. It was a late block and I kind of got a little sideways, but had it gathered. And then it took off. I don’t know what happened. There was no warning and I couldn’t tell what went wrong.”
