to come here with two wins and a second is pretty awesome. I’m pumped up for Knoxville.”
Completing the exact same trio of podium finishers for the second night in a row was James McFadden in his Roth Motorsports No. 83.
“He spanked us,” McFadden said. “When there’s a middle like that, Brad is the guy to beat. We were competitive with Carson and I had a really good battle with Donny, too. I love racing with Donny, a guy as good as him, and how he races you. Those guys out front were in another world, but it was fun battling our little bubble tonight. I hope I can win this race one day, we’ve been close several times now. Onto Knoxville.”
Donny Schatz and Sheldon Haudenschild, who started 19th, rounded out the top five.
