- Andrés Pérez de Lara’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“We had a lot of ups and downs throughout the night with our BLAC / GoKartMania Academy Chevy. I feel like we lacked some pace which made the day difficult overall, but we gave it everything we could. I feel like we executed what we could in terms of positioning, and fortunately, we were able to get our lap back. I feel like our result tonight is a reflection of how much work everyone on our team put in tonight. We know where we were lacking speed, and we know we have to get to work on it. Bristol was a strong track for us last year, so we just need to get back to that for next time we come back here.”
