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

“That was a tough day for us. We started pretty good, but at the end of the race we couldn’t get our Jockey Chevrolet to handle as we needed it to. We felt like we had a pretty fast car coming into the race so we are disappointed.”
