Tricky day honestly. The car wasn\u2019t so easy to drive at any point in the race. So, I was very pleased to get that result and great job on the pit stops by the 66 crew. Now we move onto Nashville where I know we have a really strong package.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Felix Rosenqvist:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;Didn\u2019t have anything today. Lacking grip front and rear. The stand did a good job of putting us in a good position, but we just couldn\u2019t capitalize on it. At some point, we were sort of back in the mix, but just kind of felt like a rock.
