BRYCE MENZIES, No. 70 (First in class and first overall four-wheel vehicle to finish. Menzies drove the entire race.) – We just took it easy until mile 120. The crew did an awesome job. Every time I was in the pit it was just 30 or 40 seconds. When I got up to Borrego I made one mistake and hit a huge rock and we thought we broke a caliper off the truck but we stopped and checked it out. It was good so we kept going and then the rear right at the end started feeling like it was going so we just kind of slowed it down. They said we had 8 to 10 minutes on Andy (McMillin), so we had to get it here to the finish so we just limped her in. Our goal is to win the championship this year. If we win this one, that is a huge jump on the points. Read More→
