Q. Tyler, two points short of making it into the Round of 12. What a fight. Down a lap at one point. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to know all you need are two more spots and you're in.
TYLER REDDICK: Yeah, unfortunately we certainly gave up more than two spots over the course of this first round. Darlington, getting stuck down a lap at Richmond. Not just one key opportunity, but there was a number that was the difference.
One situation, the situation tonight, doesn't really stick out as the one that makes it sting. It was just unfortunate getting to the Playoffs, we don't really have the pace that we had to just point our way into the Playoffs leaderboard.
Missed it by two. Have the races we did. It kind of all adds up. For us to miss it by two and run the way we did isn't a surprise.
Yeah, it stinks, but we still get to go race the last, I don't know, six or seven races we have on the schedule. Good tracks for us. Our starting spot and pit stall won't be as good, but everything else on the racetrack will be. We'll make the most out of those races.
Q. You never gave up and almost still made it in.
TYLER REDDICK: Yeah, well, I mean, winners never quit. Hopefully one day the right break will come our way. We continue to learn and get better even though we didn't make it through to the Round of 12.
We feel as a team we were able to pick up on some things that are going to help us when we come back here next year or go to another track, short track.
We'll see where it goes from here. Yeah, we're not racing for a championship anymore, but we still have a lot to race for with this team. Make the most with the rest of the races we have.
