- Landen Lewis’ Post-Race Thoughts: Interviewer: Landen Lewis comes home with a top-five run for Niece Motorsports. First of all, how are you feeling? You have your shoes off and you have ice under your feet. I know it’s very hot for you drivers today.
“Yeah, just mainly my feet, that’s the hardest part. But at the end of the day, it’s a great day for our J.F. Electric group. We fought hard all day long. Phil (Gould) did a great job getting me track position and just put me in a good spot to move up towards the end. I wish it honestly went another 100 laps. I thought we had a really good truck; it just kept getting better and better. This is a great day for us, and we’ll move onto IRP.”
Interviewer: You finished second at Lime Rock and had another top-five here at North Wilkesboro. How confident are you feeling, Landen?
“Well, it’s not just me, it’s my team, right? We’re all in this together. Obviously, I feel really good going into the next couple races, but it makes the team feel even better. We’ll keep moving on and plugging away and continue to just slowly work at it.”
