Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang: “At the end of every run we were really, really good and could make up a ton time. We just had a flat tire there at the end of the race that ruined our day. On paper I feel like we should have been in the top-five fairly easy, but we ended up 15th. I feel like we should be really good at Las Vegas, so we’ll head there and see what we can do.”
