POST-RACE QUOTES & NOTES:
Kraig Kinser, driver of the No. 20 Bass Pro Shops/Chevy/J.D. Byrider Maxim for TSR:
“Both Lernerville and Williams Grove were different than I remembered them to be. The weather definitely played into things. All of the rain really left the tracks different from the way they usually are.
“This new format of one-lap qualifying really makes it tough. If you qualify at the bottom, you have to automatically dig yourself out of a hole at the beginning of the night. We’ve not been qualifying well and that hasn’t helped us. We have to battle a lot harder to make it into the A-main.
“At Williams Grove on Thursday, the rain really made the track different. We had never seen the bottom of the track that good at the start of the night. Again, we didn’t qualify where we needed to and we had to try to work our way out of the hole and missed the A-main.
“We’re ready to head to Charlotte and Virginia this week. We’ll keep working toward putting Bass Pro Shops and Chevy up front.”
