Tell us about the race in Kentucky:

 “We had a great truck. It’s a shame we didn’t get to finish the race.  It was a lot of beating, banging, and three wide racing. We had a fantastic truck.  One of the best I have drove.  Looking forward to Texas next race where we have had our best finishes and my first top ten in the truck series.  Hoping to make CarQuest Auto Parts proud of this #04 Ford F-150 Texas truck team.”
