TYLER MAXSON, No. 74 Robert Noaker Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “These performances are really a testament to the guys’ work at the shop to get these cars prepared for each race. The package we’re showing up to the track with has been very quick, and we’ve been able to go out there and execute. These guys give us a great car, which helps us execute more easily. It’s been super fair and respectful racing against Robert on the track. I’ve been able to work with him closely under the tent, sharing information while we better each other overall. That is very important in a team environment, and it’s really awesome that we can go out and have great competition between us.”
ROBERT NOAKER, No. 13 Robert Noaker Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “That’s a win in my book – even if I was third. It all feels the same when you can put three cars on the podium. From six months ago to now, I would have never thought these types of performances would happen this quickly. I owe it to the drivers and crew we have. We’re just fast right out of the box and can keep it.”
REID SWEENEY, No. 31 Robert Noaker Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “I owe it to this whole team at Robert Noaker Racing. To place 1-2-3 is a testament to this team and their great effort. They are the reason why we’re up here today. The long sweepers of Watkins Glen were a big flip from Mid-Ohio, but were meant for this car.”
ZACHRY LEE, No. 48 McCumbee McAleer Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “That was a challenging race. My team told me Alex’s pace, and I had to really dig in and focus. I know the front six guys were long gone, but that was hard work for me. I knew I had it on the last lap, and this performance was very satisfying because I was able to keep that pace. I’m very psyched about this one.”
ALEX BACHOURA, No. 33 Spark Performance Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “If I had a little bit more time, I felt like I was clawing my way up to Zach. My goal was to get as close to him as I could. I made it an eight-second gap, but I had to pull back a bit in the end with an issue. I felt like I did pretty good, all considering. Sometimes, you have to take what you have and make the most out of it. Spark Performance gave me a really good car, and I was able to work my way up. I love this series. It’s been fantastic.”
STEPHEN VAJDA, No. 10 NV Autosport Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “It’s a great performance for me, considering the learning curve this week. I’m getting more comfortable with the car. What I love about the Dark Horse R is that it’s such a raw car… I mean three pedals, manual transmission and the sound of a 500 horsepower V-8. I’m semi-familiar with Watkins Glen, and I was comfortable coming into this one. When you put it all together, it made for a good finish.”
