Cole Custer, driver of the No. 00 Thompson Pipe Group Ford Mustang:
“I got such a good restart before this final start because I got a good launch but that didn’t happen this time around and we spun the tires and fell back. I’m pretty frustrated with myself, I think we had a really good Thompson Pipe Group Mustang and I made too many mistakes there at the end. The team did a great job at fixing the car after hitting debris in the first stage, just frustrating that it ended the way it did.”
