We have a big step from last year. I really appreciate all my teammates, too. I wouldn’t be here without all my teammates as well. Week in and week out, just help keep developing the program. Obviously, we’re all up front for a reason. I really appreciate Denny, Chase and Christopher for all their help, obviously."
Christopher Bell — second : "This is what you call a bad second-place finish for sure. I don’t know what else to say. Ty did a great job managing the race. I could tell he was slipping and sliding around similar to two weeks ago with Corey Heim, he just didn’t make mistake. P2."
Erik Jones — 35th : “We needed a few perfect weeks, and it needed to start here today for our Toyota team, and obviously that didn’t happen. Just unfortunate with how early it is – lap three – I’m just trying to settle in and get going. You don’t expect it either in the top-10, top-five, you don’t think you are going to get caught up in something crazy like that. It’s a bummer. It’s a huge mountain now for here on out to get to the Chase, so we will see.”
Tyler Reddick — 36th : “There wasn’t much. It was quick or I probably could have saved it. Just got out of shape in an area – corner entry – where I thought we were pretty secure all weekend. I feel awful for our Toyota team. For us to take ourselves out is one thing, but to take out a fellow Toyota teammate when they are racing for the Chase – pretty much ended their day as well. It is the type of stuff you don’t do to yourself, and you don’t do to a teammate.”
