_Fourth-place finish for Corey Heim, after you found everything that
could go wrong tonight. Can you describe that race?___
“Yeah, for sure. Started out with that pit gun breaking – no fault
to my pit crew there. They did an awesome job all night. It seemed like
a situational kind of deal there and then caught on the exact wrong time
on the green flag cycle – had to take the wave and start from the back
again, and got out of line for a penalty on my part. Like you said, a
roller coaster kind of day today. Very proud of everyone at TRICON
Garage and Toyota. This Safelite, Foster Love Tundra was really fast
today. I feel like we made a lot of gains on it throughout the race. We
kind of struggled more in dirty air than I thought we would coming into
this race, but regardless, I think we were still the best truck today.
Certainly, disappointing after being able to sweep the year last year,
but we will move forward.”
