Jeb Burton, No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevrolet
Start: 11th
Stage 1 Finish: 31st
Stage 2 Finish: 23rd
Finish: 2nd
“We struggled a little bit for a majority of the day, but my crew chief, Bruce Schlicker, came up with a good idea to get on a different strategy. I was all for trying something different, and we were able to put ourselves in a really good position at the end. Our guys did a great job all day, and I am really proud of my team for believing in me and not giving up. We really needed that top-five finish. I thought I had Kyle (Busch) there at the end, but I will take a second-place finish in our No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevy.”

Justin Haley, No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet
Start: 7th
Stage 1 Finish: 8th
Stage 2 Finish: 9th
Finish: 4th
“We fired off pretty good, but we were just too loose most of the day. My crew chief, Alex Yontz, made great calls on the pit box. We just needed those last 10 laps to stay green and not be caution filled to cycle the tires through. All in all, I think it was a good turning point for us. All three of our Kaulig Racing Chevys had speed, including AJ (Allmendinger), but he didn’t get the finish he deserved. It was a good day overall for our No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection team.”

AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Hyperice Chevrolet
Start: 3rd
Stage 1 Finish: 2nd
Stage 2 Finish: 2nd
Finish: 13th
“It wasn’t how we wanted to end the day after finishing second in the first two stages. Our Hyperice Chevy was bad-fast all day, and I knew we would be able to contend at the end of the race. Unfortunately, during the last restart, we suffered some damage and just got shuffled back a few spots. It’s definitely disappointing after all the hard work everyone at Kaulig Racing put in to bring three fast cars this week, but I’m proud of everyone for not giving up all day.”
