\u201cThe best way to describe the night was we had a fast car and we executed well but, unfortunately, all the uncontrollable aspects of the race kind of got away from us. Bummed we couldn\u2019t walk away with a top-25, but the car was fast. Really proud of the guys. We\u2019ll just keep digging and get ready for New Hampshire next week.\u201d \u2013 Cody Ware, driver of the No. 51 Arby\u2019s<\/a> Ford Mustang Dark Horse<\/p>\n Next Up:<\/p>\n The next event on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule is the Mobil 1 301 on Sunday, Sept. 21 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.
