Paul Mcmahan on the Team’s Hard-Fought Victory at Cedar Lake Speedway
“We’ve been struggling the last month or so trying to figure out our race cars and getting the balance on them right. We made some changes the last few nights and the crew put a new car together for the race on Friday night at Grand Forks (River Cities Speedway). It seemed to help. I think we found something tonight. ”
“I can’t say enough for Jimmy Carr and Mike Kuemper, busting their butts and believing in me. They give me a race car that is capable of winning every night. We haven’t been able to prove that every night, but we know we can do it. ”
“You are always in a better spot when you are in lapped traffic and in second. I’ve been here enough to know that once they rework the race track, the bottom is usually the fastest way around. Justin (Henderson) had a good lead on me and I was able to get the wing back and start gaining on him. I kept the car on the bottom and came away with the victory. ”
“Whenever you have a race car that is handling well, you want to jump right back in it. I wish we could go out now and run another 30 laps. We’ll come back on Tuesday at Sioux Falls (Huset’s Speedway), where I have been good before and see if we can come up with another victory for Bass Pro Shops and Chevrolet. ”
