- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“Pretty good night for us considering we had to start dead last after not being able to post a qualifying lap. We knew based off our teammates that we were going to have a good truck. It was hard to get a good read of our balance and what we had before the race, but once we started to get some runs in, I felt like it came to us and we started to click them off. We were up to the top-20 by the end of stage one, but got a pit road penalty which set us back. We still had a good truck to get all those spots back and more, but just fought it being a little too loose towards the end of the race. But overall, with everything we had to overcome, I’d say it was a really good run for us and hopefully we’ll be able to keep building on it for the rest of the year. Huge thank you to J.F. Electric, Utilitra, and all my supporters tonight.”
