Road Atlanta was a pretty good picture of our season. We came into the weekend still trying to get a better handle on the Mustangs, find more speed, and give the No. 64 one last shot at the Bronze Championship. And for most of the weekend, it looked like we had finally put a lot of those pieces together.

Indianapolis gave us one of those weekends where the pace was there, the cars were improving, and the results still did not quite match the opportunity.

The race almost ended before it started. There was a 10-car pileup before we even got going. In this series, that’s not something you expect to see. Cars were checking up. The field compressed quickly. There was nowhere to go, and everything happened at once. In moments like that, you don’t have time to think through options. You react.

This weekend marked the final race of our season: Road Atlanta. And I’ll be honest… We knew all we had to do was start the race to win the Bronze Cup Championship. But that’s never been how we operate. We came to compete.
