Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang:
“It’s always good to start the year off without tearing stuff up. Normally we leave Daytona with a lot of tore up stuff, but finishing with a clean Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang and a top-12 finish just builds momentum and makes it easier on the guys so they don’t have to rebuild a whole bunch of stuff for Talladega. I thought that we had a better car than 12th, but it was just so easy to get shuffled around. Overall it’s good to put it back in the truck clean, but now it’s on to Atlanta where it’ll be more of how we’ll race all year long and we’ll see what we can do.”
