HE SAID IT…
RICKY STENHOUSE ON THE TEAM’S TOP-10 FINISH AT ANDERSON SPEEDWAY:
“Even though we didn’t move forward as much as we’d like to have in the feature, it ended up being a pretty good points night for us. We moved back into third in the championship chase and that’s going to help us as we head toward Eldora Speedway on Saturday. The feature was really the first time I’d had the chance to run in traffic at Anderson in the midget, up until now I’d only tested in this type of car at the track. We learned a lot from practice and the guys did a great job in getting the car ready for qualifying. I was good in the semi-feature and I got a lot of seat time during the event and ended up with a top-10 finish. We’re ready to go to Eldora this weekend and I know that we’re going give Chevrolet and Bass Pro Shops a great shot at the winner’s circle again on Saturday.”
