Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 7 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet Camaro for Spire Motorsports: “We had a pretty good start to the race. I felt a vibration early, and that made things a little challenging, but we were able to stay up front and get some stage points. We had a good restart for Stage Two, but we just needed a little more front grip as the race went on. We kept fighting and trying to make the most of what we had. I appreciate everyone on this Freeway Insurance team for their hard work.”
