The No. 24 Chevrolet stretches its tank for the final 144 laps in the victory.<\/p>\n
Chase Briscoe \u2014 second: \u201cFirst off, just want to apologize to the 45 and 20. That was a really boneheaded move on my part, and got in there and got loose and ruined their day. That\u2019s 100 percent on me. There at the end, I was running William down. I thought I was really in the catbird seat there, and I just got there and kind of stalled out. I kind of experienced that when I was leading earlier. I caught the back of the field, and same thing; as soon as I got there, I just kind of died. Yeah, unfortunate. You\u2019re kind of limited where you can go with the repave and everything, but yeah, overall great finish for our Toyota. For us to end up second was a good recovery. Our day kind of got flipped upside down whenever that caution came out and trapped us and was able to rebound. Congrats to William. He did a really good job, and go on to the next one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Second place ‘a good recovery’ for Briscoe at Iowa<\/p>\n Chase Briscoe takes responsibility for an in-race incident with his Toyota teammates but is happy to come home second after recovering from a caution that “trapped” him deep in the field.<\/p>\n Brad Keselowski \u2014 third: \u201cYeah, this is the way the yellows fell. We had so many yellows there in stage three that it got the 24 and the 19 and where they could make it <\/p>\n Cautions hurt Keselowski’s chance at Iowa win<\/p>\n Third place was a far as Brad Keselowski could get at Iowa Speedway, but the RFK Racing co-owner is encouraged to be “in contention” after a tumultuous start to the season.<\/p>\n Ryan Blaney \u2014 fourth: \u201cI would have loved to have 20 (more laps). Ijust restarted a little bit further back than those guys and took me longer to just get in a decent spot you know and honestly it kind of surprised me how hard those guys tanked at the end, and my car kind of kept trucking along. But then I ran Brad down, but everyone\u2019s so free, it\u2019s hard to pass anybody. You\u2019re worried to spin it out, and you\u2019re kind of creeping around the bottom. But yeah it was a fun race overall. Really proud of our group for sticking it out. Yeah, really good showing and just trying to keep going. It\u2019s been a good last few weeks for us. So I think the speed is there. Just got to keep putting these races together.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blaney ‘surprised’ to catch leaders late at Iowa<\/p>\n Ryan Blaney was “surprised” to see the leaders fall off as much as they did in the closing laps at Iowa but wasn’t able to leapfrog out of a fourth-place finish with family support at Iowa Speedway.<\/p>\n Ryan Preece \u2014 fifth: \u201cPretty eventful. So yeah, eventful would be the word of the day. But I am super proud of everybody at RFK. Derrick and the entire group for making solid adjustments having a little bit of luck there when that caution came out and and allowed us to kind of take another shot at it. So thanks to RFK. I thought if we had a bunch of restarts, we were going to be OK because we were so so good in that third lane, but it just seemed like the long run that last run wasn\u2019t wasn\u2019t the best thing for us. When we were able to get to third, I thought we were going to have a shot at it, and it seemed like we could close in on the 19 and the 24 a little bit, and then I just got loose and when Brad was catching me, I thought of what\u2019s the best thing to do for a teammate in the company. I wanted to give him the opportunity even if it was a deficit for us, but ultimately I look forward to Watkins Glen, Richmond and Daytona. All three of us can still get in, and it\u2019s going to take a lot of perseverance and a lot of luck but we have fast race cars, and we can get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Preece recaps ‘eventful’ day at Iowa, top-5 finish<\/p>\n Ryan Preece chats with Marty Snider and Dale Jarrett about his “eventful” day at Iowa Speedway, which secured back-to-back top five finishes, and knows it will take “perseverance” to insert his name into the playoffs.<\/p>\n Bubba Wallace \u2014 sixth: \u201cWe had an up and down day. I was ready to just debrief the whole car midrace and figure out what we need to do to just wholesale it. Had our damages, had our issues, and just really fought hard to get our Camry back in the top 10. Felt really good firing off and I was a little hesitant on how that was going to last. Here we are P6 after that middle of the race. If you had told me I would finish six, I would have told you, \u2018Yeah, right!\u2019 It ran good at the end. So there\u2019s some things to take from there. I thought our crew did an amazing job fixing all the repairs. So I said earlier this weekend, we\u2019ve got to expose our weaknesses. And I think we put everybody to the test here today and it\u2019ll be nice to see where we did fall because I didn\u2019t see anything there but just a hell of a team effort all day.\u201d <\/p>\n
on fuel, pitting way outside the window. And we just couldn\u2019t get back by them. Got back by a lot of guys. We started 24th there after we pitted. Got way up to third, but that was as far as I could get. Yeah, great run for both of our RFK cars. Obviously we want to win, but we\u2019re in contention. That\u2019s for sure. Watkins Glen has been good for us. It\u2019s been a good track for me. My teammate won there last year. Just keep putting solid runs on the board, and I feel like this will come to us, and we\u2019ve got some pretty strong
Ford Mustangs right now. (Ryan) Blaney was really faster than he had a little bit newer tires. He was running us down, so I feel like I was going to get the 19, but Blaney was going to pass me, and it was just a solid day. Just needed a few more things the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n
