“I mean it was, that's the main goal going into this weekend was, to win all three. And you know, after the spin I was like damn, it's over now and yeah, I was just you know, able to make some things happen to get a win. So yeah, like you said, I mean you can't win all three without one of the first. So I like my chances the rest of the weekend.”

The Hendrick Motorsports driver spun in Lap 90 in an attempt to pass Layne Riggs and brought out the caution. Kyle Larson carved his way through the field after the restart and was back in P3 by Lap 130. Speaking about the inexperience in the series during the post-race conference, the American said:

“Going into the weekend I thought the truck race would be the big unknown, the toughest to win just because of my inexperience in trucks and just the runs being short, the aggression of the drivers and all that.” (7:10 onwards)
