Langdon on Reading: “It was a good points day; we made some good runs and put ourselves in position to contend for the championship – great job by Brian (Crew Chief Brian Husen) and all the Kalitta Air Careers guys and thanks to Revchem, Toyota and Future Energy Solutions. This team’s been doing a great job giving me a good car. The points are tight at the top with Justin, Antron and me, but Doug (Kalitta), Steve (Torrence), and some other teams are right there, too. Today was great, but there’s still five races to go – that’s a lot of racing. It was a good start to the Countdown.”
