Post-Race Driver Quotes:
Ross Chastain, No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 3rd
It was a hard-fought race for you, but it was arguably probably one of
your best All-Star races. How was your night?
“Yeah, we got turned around there early in the race and hit the
left-rear and the left-front, so something is bent. It really didn’t
drive much different after that, even when the wheel was off. For
everyone on this No. 1 Busch Light Chevy team — we’ve all seen the
struggles we’ve had, so just to be able to see the front and be right
there with them the last couple of weeks is really cool. We want more of
that, for sure, and we’ll keep working. We have a lot of strong things
to take away from here this weekend. A lot of effort has already gone
into Charlotte, and that continues tomorrow.”
Alex Bowman, No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
Finished: 4th
“I’m just really proud of everyone on this No. 48 Ally Chevrolet
team. We were so bad yesterday and the guys made the right adjustments.
Our hands are pretty tied on what we can or can’t change, and they
made a lot of really good calls to take us from struggling pretty bad to
at least having a shot at it there at the end. Really happy for this
team. Obviously, fourth doesn’t really mean anything here, but it was
a big improvement from yesterday.”
Is there anything you can learn from this race for shorter, flatter
tracks in the future?
“I think we certainly came here just to do that – try to learn
things. It pays $1 million, but honestly winning a regular Cup race,
with the playoff implications and everything, it adds up to more than
that. So yeah, just came here to learn. Obviously what we had, we
struggled with at first, but maybe we have our heads wrapped around it a
little bit better.”
Chase Elliott, No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
Finished: 5th
“It looked like a great race for the win.. I wish I could have been a
part of it. I thought the race was much better this year than last year,
so that was cool to see. We had another great crowd here, great
environment, for an All-Star race, so hopefully everyone enjoyed that.
Our No. 9 Prime Chevy was pretty good. We were in the mix, but we just
needed a little bit more to be there with Joey (Logano) and Christopher
(Bell). We were solid, better than we’ve been, and it’s just a nice
step in the right direction. We just had a good solid night. Obviously
needed a little bit more, but overall, it was pretty solid.”
William Byron, No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
Finished: 6th
“All four of the Hendrick Motorsports Chevy’s were pretty fast. For
us personally, we just have to continue to improve. We were good to
start the weekend and good to start the race, but it just seemed like it
kind of went away on us. We just have to figure out what exactly that
was, but I’m overall happy with the result. I feel like we did a good
job throughout the weekend. I don’t know if I was expecting to win,
but I was hoping we’d have a shot to win and I think we were right
there. We just didn’t have quite enough.”
Kyle Busch, No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 8th
What did you think of the race tonight?
“We had a decent night for our No. 8 SENIX Chevrolet. I felt like there
around halfway, we jumped to the outside lane and I think we led a lap.
We just kind of faded on the long run. I didn’t quite have the
complete package with all the grip that I was looking for. I don’t
know that all of the Chevy guys did. We’re just a little bit behind on
that front, but overall, we made great adjustments all night. The team
worked hard overnight to try to find something that would make us
better, so that was good progress”
