Cole Custer, driver of the No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang:
“I thought our car was as good as the 20 there at the end as we could run the same lap times the last bit of the race. I can’t thank the guys at SHR for building such great cars and giving us the speed we need to compete each week. I learned throughout the race how to really drive the car, which would help out as we needed to battle back through traffic a few times. We will go on to Iowa to hopefully continue on with our strong runs.”
