HEARTBREAK CONTINUES IN THE HEARTLAND FOR BEN RHODES AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY
“The Alpha Energy Solutions Ford F-150 was really fast today. We definitely had a truck that was fast enough to win the race, and in my opinion, we should’ve won the race. We were challenging [Noah] Gragson for the lead there in the second stage, and we were definitely faster than him – it was a matter of laps before his tires wore out, and we could pass him. Unfortunately, we had some motor issues similar to Atlanta. We weren’t able to find any issues during the race, so we’re going to take the truck back to Sandusky and figure out what it is.”
