Quotes:
“When you come out here, you want to win every race. I mean, anybody that shows up here that doesn’t, I’m mad at them. All in all, big picture-wise, it was a great race day. We did what we needed to do. Put some distance between us and Jordan Vandergriff with that semifinal win and there were a lot of heavy hitters that lined up in second round and kind of hurt themselves,” Hagan said. “I’m just proud of my guys. They’re putting a great race car underneath me. We haven’t had a hole out at the step like that final round in like two years. That’s not normal and there was no reason for it. But it happened and so a win wasn’t meant to be.”
“Each Countdown race we’ve continued to build our points lead and that’s just what you have to do to win a championship,” Hagan said. “We’re just doing what we need to do to to keep things in place. Two more races to go, points and a half in Pomona, so that throws a little wild card in there, but if we continue the way we’re doing, things should work out the way they’re supposed to.”
