Cole Custer, driver of the No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang:
“I think we definitely had a car capable of winning today. We just didn’t really have much that went our way and it put us behind early. We made the right adjustments throughout the race and got the car where it needed to be, but didn’t have the track position to show.”
