Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 98 Ford Performance Ford Mustang:
“I thought we had a great Ford Mustang from start to finish today. With this being the first time I have raced here, I had a lot to learn and had to learn quickly. We were able to run in the top-10 for most of the race and gained a couple spots with a great pit call by Richard Boswell at the end to come and take tires. I’m really looking forward to this stretch of road courses, especially if we can continue to run this well during our first visit to some of these.”
