“I had a lot of fun racing today, but disappointed we didn’t pull off the win today in the ENEOS Chevy. Our car didn’t handle great for most of the race, but the crew did a good job with gambling on strategy that got us up to the lead late in the race. I got tight on that last lap and with the speed Brad had today, there wasn’t much we could do. Unfortunate we didn’t get the win, but proud to see our car continue to contend for wins.” – Kyle Larson
