Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Aerial Recovery Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing:

“That was a tough race for everyone. Our car was great in turns one and two but it was like being on a different track in turns three and four. Our stuff slowly got better tonight. If we had more clean air I think we would have been better. We got to meet and host the Aerial Recovery people today and that was really special. We’ll be ready for Texas.”
