"I don't know what to say," Gratton said. "I can't believe we won. I thought when we crossed the line that the #32 had gotten us, so I was over the moon to find out that we won."
Gratton faced a lot of adversity on his way to the top. Contact with Lindsay stalled his car on pit road and he narrowly avoided going a lap down on the second segment, and the next segment saw him slowed a bit by Reece Butcher, leading him to start last in the final segment. "There were times that thing didn't work on pit road and the track and Freddie [Sherwood] always found a solution to the problem so I can't thank him enough," Gratton said. The final two segments only saw six cars duking it out for the win as ten other competitors either crashed or went a lap down in the beginning 40 laps. "Fast car all day, just could not take any more than the first wreck of the day," Amethyst Ashley said after crashing twice in the race.
