Chase Purdy, driver of the No. 4 Bama Buggies Chevrolet for KBM:
Talk about your race.
“I felt like we had a really fast Bama Buggies Silverado today we just weren’t able to get the track position we needed. It seemed like every restart I was in the wrong lane and the other lane would get going and we would lose a bunch of spots. We’ve got one more shot next weekend at Richmond to go out and earn a spot in the playoffs and we’re going to give it all we got.”
