Jake Drew, Driver, No. 7 Silver Hare Racing Chevrolet Camaro:
“It was an eventful day, for sure. We had a fast Silver Hare Chevrolet. Kind of an unfortunate start with some contact with some people, which set us on our back foot and left us with a little bit of damage and made our day tougher. Still crossed the finish line in a solid fourth place, so close to that podium. Just super thankful to Maurice and Laura (Hull, team co-owners) and all the hard-working guys who work on this car every week and every weekend. We’re going to keep coming back.”
Maurice Hull, Co-Owner, Silver Hare Racing:
“I’m proud of our team. We stayed with it. We had a couple of good cars. There were just some cars that were better today, there were drivers that were more aggressive. I think our guys did a great job all the way around, drivers and crew, and I was proud of our effort.”
