We had a really good Champion Power Equipment Tundra the whole two days that we were here. It was just a matter of me getting adjusted to it. I learned a lot, the whole night. I feel like we were legitimately a contending truck there at the end. I'm really happy our teammate was able to get the win. I feel like we're knocking on the door now. Definitely a solid run for us, and can't thank Champion Power Equipment and everybody at ThorSport Racing for this opportunity. I always knew it'd be fun to run this race, but never knew it'd be that much fun."
