Late in the race, he climbed to as high as fourth before ultimately ending the day seventh.

What do you expect going to Homestead this weekend?

“I feel pretty good about this weekend. Homestead has been a good track for us, and we were able to do the test a few weeks ago, so we should be good this weekend. I really enjoy the track; it’s got different options as far as where you can run, and the surface is worn out. That seems to be where we have been our best this season, so I’m looking forward to it.”
