BEN RHODES FIGHTS TIGHT TRUCK AT MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY, PERSEVERES FOR FOURTH-PLACE FINISH
“For us, our biggest challenge was getting into the turns, and we were super tight all day long. I could never get it loose. A lot of times I was purposely trying to upset the truck, running into the curb and doing whatever I could to get the thing to turn. We’ll go back with our notebook, study up a little bit, and get this truck a little bit better. Our teammates were up front today and that was pretty cool.”
