Levi Jones: “I was able to move forward and pick up a top-10 finish”

Levi Jones On The No. 20 Team’s Performance In The American Revolution Weekend At Eldora:

“I had a really good sprint car to start the event out with. We’d worked really hard to build a new car for the Chevy race. Unfortunately, when Shane Cottle spun out in hot laps, I didn’t have anywhere to go or any time to get out of the way. I was really disappointed about having to bring out the backup car, but we worked through it and recovered to be able to run the feature and try to build on our points. We lost a few in this event but we’ve got some time to regroup and get ready to head to the west coast for the remaining events.

“In the midget, we were really good in our heat race. We qualified a little too far back to start near the front in the feature, but I was able to move forward and pick up a top-10 finish. The silver crown car was very loose during the feature, and I had to really focus on hitting my marks each lap. The events over the course of the night kept us on our toes and we also had to really pay attention to the track conditions. I would’ve liked to have won a race for our sponsor, Chevy, in their title sponsored race but it wasn’t in the cards on Saturday night. We’ve got several more chances to put the No. 20 back in the winner’s circle and I think we’re going to be able to do so. ”

Ricky Stenhouse On The Team’s Win In The Usac Midget Series Portion Of The American Revolution Weekend/USAC 4-Crown Nationals At Eldora Speedway:

“Chevrolet, Bass Pro Shops and Tony Stewart provide us with some awesome stuff to go out and race and we make the best out of everything we get. It was great to wrap up the midget season in this part of the country with a win for Chevy. I’m ready to go out west for the end of the season. I think we’re going to have some really good runs out there to end the season with. ”

Stenhouse On Hitting The Wall In The Sprint Car Feature Event:

“When you have a chance to make a move on someone, you have to take it, because you might not have that chance again in the race. I entered the turn a little too hard to make the slide, and I found the wall but that’s what happens. It was great that we were able to get one win tonight, but it would have been nice to have gotten two. We had three good cars tonight. The midget won. The loss of the sprint race was my fault and the silver crown car just didn’t have enough. “
