Matt Tifft Earns Second Consecutive Top-10 Finish with Eighth-Place Result at Auto Club Speedway

“Auto Club Speedway has just been a challenge for me. Last year, I felt like I didn’t know what I needed out of my car. This time around I felt much more confident in what I wanted and knew how to better communicate with my team about it. We started out too snug in the front, but after our first two pit stops of the day the No. 2 Anderson’s Maple Syrup Chevrolet Camaro was much better with front turn. With the late race caution, Randall (Burnett, Crew Chief) was able to set the tires up for a short run and that really helped me move around some traffic and get back up in the top 10. It was a big learning weekend for me at a track I still find challenging, but to come out with an eighth place finish is a solid improvement for myself.”

“We’ve been really disappointed with some of the finishes on this No. 3 Xfinity Series team since Daytona so it feels great to earn a finish with a top-five. We had a really solid Red Kap / Prudential Overall Supply Chevrolet in practice yesterday so I was a bit bummed after qualifying. We just didn’t do a good job on our delta. We got to the race and we tightened up. It was really impressive on that last run. We were running up there against the fence and making some moves. I’m proud of this team for this fourth-place finish today.”

“I’m so proud of Danny Stockman and all of the guys on the No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino team. We unloaded fast and made great adjustments throughout the weekend. We had a solid starting spot and just kept chopping at away at it all day. This was a battle. We had to fight hard on the track and on pit road. We made solid adjustments on the car and had great stops all day. We’re getting closer. I can taste it. The West Coast swing was solid. We came out of this with a sixth, a sixth and a fifth. That’s solid momentum heading into the off weeks.”
