Langdon on Charlotte: “It was a pretty good weekend for the Kalitta Air Careers team. We ended up getting to the final and coming out with a semifinal getting third behind Justin and Doug, who are just ahead of us in points so it was good day overall. We lost a little bit of ground in points, but we’re still within striking distance so it’s ‘no harm, no foul’ heading to St. Louis. We’ll try to get the points lead back next week.”
