A solid day for myself and the entire 24 PDM team during today's race at Martinsville Speedway. The car was mostly alright throughout the entirety of the race, but we just didn't make key adjustments that could've helped us go for the win. I'll gladly take P10 and try to do something to close the gap to the cutoff.
