Transcripts: Driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Crew Chief Mike Kelley, After Talladega Victory

by MikeOctober 8, 2024

THE MODERATOR: We’re joined by Mike Kelley, Crew Chief of the No. 47 Chevrolet. Congratulations on your win today, Mike. Can you tell us a little bit about the race itself?

We qualified 32nd. We won’t compromise our race setup, and we generally have a pretty good race car for Ricky to be able to maneuver around.
