_How fast was your truck tonight and how do you process the end there?
“I feel like we were lights out, the best truck
tonight. Think we should’ve won the race by six, seven seconds at the
end there. I feel like at the beginning of the runs, I knew what we were
capable of and let those guys get away, burn their stuff up and then,
fly past them. I don’t know exactly what was going on. Never really
had an issue like that. I’d be totally fine, and the engine would just
hard cut on me. Dash would go black and have no power until I fully
cycled it. So, I was coasting for six seconds trying to turn the power
switch and turn it back (on). I don’t know. Felt I ran a really good
race, saving tires and would mow them down on the long runs there. But
huge thank you to TRICON Garage, Safelite and Toyota for all of their
work. This No. 11 Tundra TRD Pro was really, really good.”
