“I feel like we had a truck that was capable of maybe finishing a spot or two higher, but in the scheme of things I’ll take ninth. It was an exciting day at Pocono. It always is. This track breeds so much excitement and cautions and drama on the restarts. It’s so hard to pass and you get such big runs here that you’ve got to take them, but be smart. The name of the game today was keeping this 99 Kubota F-150 up front and in one piece. Thankfully, I had really good pit stops today. My pit crew has been awesome all year. We kind of joked on the radio that they were carrying us today and they did a fantastic job. All in all, everybody works really hard and I’m proud of the effort. If a ninth-place is our bad day, I know we’re gonna have a strong finish to this season.”
