“I felt like we had a pretty strong Chevrolet Accessories Camaro tonight. I was pretty neutral, balance wise, at the start and then I battled with it being tight. We kept working on it on pit road and got it rolling good there at the end. Unfortunately, on the last pit stop of the night, under green flag conditions, we left the wedge wrench in the back windshield and that put a big damper on our night. After we served the penalty, Chad (Norris, crew chief) and the guys had the handling fixed up and fought back to finish 12th place. We will keep digging and head to New Hampshire next weekend.”
