Quotes:​


“Tough weekend here in Las Vegas. We qualified well but obviously race day was a little challenging there. With how the ladder was, we really could have set ourselves up to put our foot on their throats but it just wasn’t in the cards today. Wish we could have gotten the job done for MOPAR and Dodge at their title race but the good thing is, we’ll head into the Pomona Finals with the points lead.

“Last year, heading into the season finale, we felt like we really still had a chance to get it done and we were 90 points back so to go in with the points lead, nothing to hang our heads about. At the end of the day, we just have to keep digging. There are going to be some tight, close races. I think the biggest thing is though, we still need to have fun. You can’t lose sight of enjoying what we’re doing, because when you do and you start getting knotted up about it, that’s when you start making mistakes. We’re blessed to just even be here and have the opportunity to race for a championship and make some history. The field is as tight as it’s ever been, and the competition is as tough as it’s ever been. We just have to keep doing the best job we can, and it’ll be alright.”​
