“Overall, it was a successful weekend here at Mid-Ohio. I think the Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200 went very well. I was thrilled to have Alexandra (Nationwide Patient Champion Alexandra James) on the box. She did an awesome job this weekend – she was part of the crew, as I told her. She had a great time hopping in the race car before the race, hanging around with everybody and with the gifts that we gave her. I had a great time working with her and everybody from Nationwide Children’s Hospital.”

“Mid-Ohio is a very technical course that rewards smart, patient drivers. To be successful, I believe we need to qualify up front and, once again, work on minimizing mistakes. One of my biggest areas to improve is my braking zones. I worked on this constantly at the Glen and will have time at Mid-Ohio to work on it again, which should bring more speed.”

“The takeaway is that I learned a lot. I was racing with some of the best in the business, some of the best in the world. I gradually got better and better as the weekend progressed. I learned how to get through the bus stop better, made my shifts better, made my braking zones better and got more comfortable with our Alpha Chevy.”

“My mindset approaching Watkins Glen will be a little different than it would for an oval track. I only have two road course races under my belt so I have a lack of experience, but there’s a wealth of knowledge available in my JR Motorsports teammates. The key to success at all the road courses will be patience. I have to minimize my mistakes and survive. I feel like many people may take themselves out of competition by going too hard too soon.”

“It was an unfortunate incident that happened in tonight’s XFINITY Series race with the No. 1 car. I’m aware of it going forward next time. It’s bad because as a rookie, my primary goal out here is to run the entire race, log laps, gain experience in the Alpha Energy Solutions Chevy so that I can get better and improve. You can’t improve with a torn up race car, and what’s even worse is that we were in position to meet both goals with completing all the laps and getting a top-10 finish.”
