McMurray quotes:

“Not the way that we wanted to finish the season, but our guys made another good effort. We struggled early and got down a couple of laps. With the help of a couple of timely cautions we were able to race our way back into the ‘free pass’ position and get back on the lead lap at the Stage 2 break. We were able to work back inside the top-20. I am thankful for the teammates and friends that I have made here at Chip Ganassi Racing over the past nine seasons since coming back to the organization. I look forward to seeing what the future holds and grateful to have had such a great team around me here along with great partners like McDonald’s, Cessna and many others that make this all possible.”
