Q: Not a bad start to your season with a fourth-place run. Talk about your first run in this new car and how you picked up from your solid run in last year’s 300-lap race.
A: “This new car is a great car; the best car I’ve ever been in. I think it definitely has the potential to win some races. We’ve just got to work out some little things in it and we ain’t far from winning races. We just got real free right there after the halfway and got too free. The other guys were kind of a little bit better than us. Overall, we had a pretty good day I feel like for qualifying ninth and coming to where we did and we kind of turned our weekend around.”
Q: Do you think you had anything for the top two cars [Falk and Smith]?
A: “Maybe at one point in the race or I could have gotten a caution, but not at the end. They had me beat pretty bad. I just got terrible free and I don’t think I had nothing for them. They drove a great race and they didn’t cut us no slack. That’s racing for $10,000.”
Q: You were battling Nick Smith on Lap 236 and had second for a brief moment before he used a cross-over move to get the spot back. If you had been able to keep second, do you think maybe a little more clean air on your nose might have allowed you to pull away from him and possibly a second-place finish?
A: “I might have been able to hold onto second if I had clean air but I stayed there in third. Frankie [Frank Deiny Jr.] got to me, kind of put some pressure on me and caused us to race with him some. That kind of messed us up some, but that’s racing. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do. I believe we could have got in front of him [Smith], but that was a nice move by Nick and I know next time.”
Q: You said you want to race full-time at Motor Mile. After a race like this, do you reconsider maybe racing here full-time?
A: “We’re not for sure; we possibly could run here. We’re not throwing that out the window, but right now we’re on track to run Motor Mile.”
