DEREK, HOW DID IT FEEL TO GET BACK TO VICTORY LANE AFTER A COUPLE OF RACES WHERE LUCK DIDN’T GO YOUR WAY?
It was pretty awesome, for sure. The car was great, and it just seemed like the rest of the guys weren’t going to have a chance. I’m glad for all our guys after the bad luck we’ve been having.
It was probably pretty boring for the fans, but we started fourth and the car just took right off. For us, it was an excellent race. It really was.
