Which drivers said after the collision at Bowman Gray Stadium

Winston-Salem, NC here is what managers have to say after the Bowman Gray Stadium collision Sunday night.

Chase Elliott – Winner: “I know it’s not a point race, but it’s sure to win. Just very proud of our team to just keep keeping our heads off and pushing forward.

“Had a difficult race. Ryan (Blaney) kept me honest at the end. Denny (Hamlin) was very good in the second half of that interruption. I just felt he kind of driving, and I was afraid to lose control of the race and not get back. Yes, fortunately it worked out. Good way to start the season.

‘… Honestly, it felt like there was at the end of the first hundred that Denny and Tyler (Reddick) got better than us, and we had to be a good improvement to find the guys. Was quite scared if we lost control, it would be difficult to get it back. The lead. To make the race play in our favor.

Ryan Blaney – Complete 2nd: “It was nice. It was an explosion. The car was very good, especially the first half and the second half. To get second, then run hard with Chase there, who’s going to save more tires. At the end, I just didn’t have enough right behind to make him move. … this is a nice time. I hope the fans enjoyed it. It was a very good performance. Happy that we could come to Bowman Gray and tackle a wonderful race for everyone.

Denny Hamlin – 3rd ended: “I just didn’t do very well with the restart there, and the bottom lost and Chase (Elliott) utilized it. Once you get the lead, it’s much easier to hang on it. I thought they were just a little better than the second half than we were, with the 12 (Ryan Blaney) too. We just need to get a little better, but in general, a good day for our sports clippings Toyota. “

Bubba Wallace – finished 5th: “I hate that I ended up in the 6 (Brad Keselowski). I didn’t want to get such a top five-end point. He did everything in his power to get off – and I became greedy and wanted to fill the hole. I really didn’t think I hit him so hard, but of course I did, so apologize for it. A good day – I wish I had the Hard Charger Award. The 12 (Ryan Blaney) beat me for it. I looked in the mirror before the break, and he was two back and I’m like him is fast. But all-in-all, a good day for our leados Toyota Camry. We start the season with a top five. Count it? We will count it. Everything in everything, a good day-we still missed it. This tire was also in the fall of Martinsville. I didn’t like the car then. I don’t like the car right now, but you have to fight for it. I have to look back on what I need to do better with this band. I think it’s more for me than the car-just to get the potential, but everything in everything, it was a nice evening. The crowd was hard and proud, and it was a good time. “

Ross Chastain – finished 6th: “Well, we were in the race, but we were not ahead. Our strongest performance of the weekend to lead the best with a sixth place was our strongest performance of the weekend and we ended the best we were all weekend, so it’s promising. But we need more speed. We were proud to drive home last night that we locked all three cars, but we want to do it in advance. “

Austin Cindric – Complete 7th: “I thought we had done a good job to make our Freightliner Ford Mustang Dark Horse better from Saturday night and even from the first 100 rounds to the second 100 rounds. I can’t really complain. I thought we had quick to chase in the top five. In that long -term, we made a lot of passes under green and felt that we had a reasonable car and kept the tires under it. These quarter -mile events have been a struggle for me for the past four years, so it is a good progress and a good performance to start the season for the 2 car. ‘

Tyler Reddick – finished 8th: “After we were up there all the re -principles and finally, my car, the handling just wasn’t quite the same. It really, really, got really stiff. It just put me in a bad place there. Really slow and not shown where I had to be and people could get to my bumper. … Unfortunately, it never really recovered where it was in the first half of the race. “

Shane van Gisbergen – finished 9th: “Yes, it was a lot of fun. I think I still put myself in bad places and got out of the way. And then I didn’t know how to come back without angry. But yes, I had a lot of fun. ‘

Chris Buescher – 10th: “We put ourselves in a good position at the beginning of the race by winning our heat yesterday, and in general I thought the car was solid. I am very proud of our guys and their effort, and we will want to carry this momentum in the Daytona weekend. “

Ryan Preece – ends 11th: “We made profits with the break. I think we ran the 20th and struggled to be there, and made good adjustments and made us come to 11th place. We didn’t really have any other opportunities to go forward, so at the end of the day I was satisfied with positive changes and just ready to move forward to the duel (at Daytona) and the big performance. “

Josh Berry – finished 13: “It was a lot of fun. I thought the guys did a very good job of making the car better and adjusting the exercise and the heat racing to give me a very good car for the function. Honestly, I felt that we had more potential there if things were a little different, but in general I am very happy with it. Obviously, the goal is to come here and do the race, to do it and get a decent finish in our first time, it was a lot of fun. ‘

Kyle Busch – Complete 15th: ‘The overall event in Bowman Gray Stadium was good, but it wasn’t the result we wanted for our Chevrolet team. At the beginning of the function, the car plowed tightly and did not turn. We turned around and eventually went two laps in front of the halfway. (Crew head) Randall (Burnett) and the no. 8 -guys made adjustments during the break, and when we went back green, it was the best that the car felt. It was to do what it had to do. With the help of a few warnings, we came back to the lead and worked at 15th place at the checkers. “

Brad Keselowski – finished 21st: “We showed a lot of potential early, but we spun there with 75 to go and really never had the chance to recover. We were solid. Just a fifth-to-10th place all day. We tried to get a little more, but in general is a good debut outing for a team that has had many changes. ‘

Daniel Suarez – End 22nd: It was a little tricky for the no. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevy team. I thought we were going to have a little more speed. We were decent in the short term, but in the long run not too good, which was the opposite of how I thought we were going to be. In general, it was a good event. “
