ROBERT NOAKER, No. 13 Robert Noaker Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “The race was kind of intermediate – damp but not misting. As it started to dry out near the middle of the race, it was about getting more comfortable and finding the wet spots to keep the tires. The Michelin tires did so well, and the Dark Horse R felt great. It’s unbelievable to get another win.”
SAM PALEY, No. 26 Paley Motorsport Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “The Michelin rain tire had a ton of grip, and the Dark Horse R handled well in the wet conditions. It dried out quickly, so the game was adapting to the conditions and keeping the tires under you. I was able to work through the conditions well, and thanks to the Paley Motorsport crew for giving me a strong Dark Horse R. I’m happy to come home with second today.”
BRITT CASEY, No. 91 Robert Noaker Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DH) – “The Mustang Dark Horse R is a super unique and fun race car to drive, and I’m with a great crew at Robert Noaker Racing. I have great data to look through, great drivers to compare to and great equipment. Thank you to the Ford Racing team. I really appreciate this opportunity, and I’m super grateful to get a podium in my first race.”
ALFONSO DIAZ, No. 15 TechSport Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “The battle with [Zachry] Lee was fun. He’s a great driver. I’ve driven around him quite a bit, and he’s very respectable and a driver I really enjoy racing. The Dark Horse R drives well in the wet, and I have to thank my team for giving me a race-winning set up.”
ZACHRY LEE, No. 48 McCumbee McAleer Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “I felt like I really had it today, but just fell short of the win. But the points battle is really close between me, [Alfonso] Diaz and [Alex] Bachoura, so I think the rest of the season will be a barnburner. I’m looking forward to tomorrow, and I hope I can bring home the win.”
ALEX BACHOURA, No. 33 Spark Performance Ford Mustang Dark Horse R (DHL) – “It was overall a solid race, but our Dark Horse R just didn’t quite have the right setup for the wet conditions. I tried my best, but I wasn’t able to keep up with [Alfonso] Diaz and [Zachry] Lee. We will go again tomorrow and see if we can fight for the win, which I’m confident we can do.”
