Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “A good night for our No. 43 Guns N’ Roses Chevy. We have good speed, just need to get our Camaro driving a little better. The biggest thing for us tonight was to keep it clean and have this car in one piece so that we can now work on adjusting things for Sunday. We did that and now we’ll spend tomorrow’s practice dialing in our No. 43 Chevy and be ready for 500 miles on Sunday.”

Jimmie Johnson Post-Race Thoughts: My first race in the Next Gen car is done and we finished 14th in the Duel. Wish that we finished a little bit better, but we got a ton of great reps for the No. 84 Carvana Chevy team. I have new over-the-wall guys, a new spotter, new crew chief, a new team – to have this behind us is really good and I think it was a really successful day. I wish that our strategy was a bit better for the cars we were running with, but we have 500 miles on Sunday to figure that out.”
