I am so thankful for such a solid afternoon. The car was fast and our team really put me in position to succeed. No laps of any kind since last year at Darlington had me nervous. The rust showed during those first laps. 
Things steadily improved and soon I found myself running with the leaders. I was surprised to be doing that. Ultimately we weren’t set up for the short run and it hurt us that final restart. But Im proud of the effort. Racing without fans is so strange.
I took notice of that several times during the race. When you are battling for position you sometimes look up there to see the reaction. I can’t wait till we can see and hear the stands come alive with energy again. It adds so much to the event.
Appreciate all the supportive messages leading up to and after today’s event. That support is the single driving force that keeps me coming back. Now, I can’t wait to be home with my family and watch tomorrow’s events.
