- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts: 

Just wasn’t our night. We were really free in practice and qualifying so we tried to counter balance that going into the race, but just started off plowing tight. We couldn’t find the adjustments we needed to make it better and couldn’t get any track position. It was a tough night to get anything to go our way and ultimately, just fought handling all night. Couldn’t catch a break, but it’s just one of those nights. We’ll move onto Kansas; I’m looking forward to getting back on a mile-and-a-half, so I’m excited to get there.
