HORNADAY JR. QUOTES: “I wish I would have led the most laps overall. It’s always an honor to run WIX Filters and all the support they give our team. Finishing third, we don’t deserve it but we’ll take it but other than that, a great night, and a great points night. We’ll go on and see what we’ve got the next two races.” AS WELL AS YOU’VE RUN ON THE SUPERSPEEDWAYS THIS SEASON, IS A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING? “Definitely. The problem is I’ve got to race points. Kyle got into me and roughed us up a little bit. I’m not going to whine about it. That’s his job to go out there and race hard. Once I burned the rear tires off I couldn’t catch him. That’s how racing goes I guess.”
