Pair of Solid Top-Fives for TeamSLR in Detroit Race No. 2

“It feels really good to get my first TA2 podium, especially after getting through all that craziness in those final laps. Before that, I thought it would have been good to run seventh. Kind of what we’ve been able to run all year, just haven’t put a whole race together, so for us to finally put the whole deal together and come away with a second-place finish and have a solid points day to make up for our bad points day yesterday, it feels sweet. Hopefully, we can just keep running like this, be in position, then you see what happens at the end of these things – there’s no telling who’s going to win it until we come around to take the checkered flag. I feel we deserved this podium finish. We were good enough for it, and we’ll take it every time we can get it. I’m also glad that we didn’t tear up a racecar and finally made it through one of these things without losing a lap and blowing a tire or getting spun. We’ll keep our heads down, keep working, go to Mid-Ohio and try to win a race. That’s the first track on the schedule so far where I’ve actually raced before.”

“It was a bit of a survival race, to say the least. We were fighting being really tight, for some reason. We were tight in the first race yesterday and made some changes to it and it didn’t seem to help it very much. These street races, there’s a lot of attrition, there are a lot of people who make unforced errors, so we had to just make sure we let the race come back to us. We didn’t make any mistakes, took advantage of some other people’s problems and came away with a top-five finish. Could’ve been worse, could’ve been better.”
