“The day started off pretty well. We made some setup changes by the end of practice, and I felt a lot more comfortable, which helped me qualify fourth. Going into the night show, I was in a good spot in the first race, started in second, and was holding strong, but about halfway through, Chase [Sexton] put some pressure on me and ended up putting me on the ground. I got back up in sixth and fought my way to finish fifth, which was solid considering the setback. In the second race, I had a decent start in fourth and quickly moved into third. I was in a good battle, but Malcolm [Stewart] got by me, and then right before the whoops, I went down which put me all the way back to eighth. I got up and tried to make up ground, but I had to settle for eighth in that one. In the final race, my start wasn’t great—I was around the top 10—but then I went down on the first lap and ended up dead last. From there, I just put my head down and charged forward as best as I could, eventually making it up to 12th. Overall, it wasn’t the night we wanted, but we’ll take what we learned and keep building.”
