IN
THE WORDS OF THE WINNER – “We got the track position and just hung onto it. I was
able to stay on the bottom and try to run the bottom and keep everyone in line,
and that worked out really well. Kevin did a good job with that, which
ultimately got us all a great finish. It was fun racing there at the end."
