HE SAID IT…
PAUL MCMAHAN ON THE TEAM’S TOP-10 FINISH AT ELDORA SPEEDWAY:
“There’s a reason they call it motorsports, and the way our Chevrolet engine ran tonight proves why that’s the name of the sport. The engine we ran tonight was a great piece; it was very strong and gave me solid power all night. The engine’s performance, along with the new Bass Pro Shops car that Jimmy Carr [crew chief] and the guys built for me to run here really gave us a solid night. We didn’t know what to expect coming into Eldora this weekend, especially with a new track surface. As the night played out, we found the way around the bottom and were able to capitalize on that to get a top-10 finish. I wish would could’ve raced on Saturday night to get some more time on the track but we know where we need to start at when we come back here in June.”
