Kansas Speedway: Post-Race
No. 1 McDonald’s Trick. Treat. Win! Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Start: 20th
Finish: 17th
Standings: 21st

Notes:

• Both CGR teams — the No. 1 and No. 42 — were forced to start from the rear of the field today for engine change and backup car respectively.
• After starting 20th, McMurray was able to advance inside the top-10 during the first half of the race, but unable to hold track position toward the end, relegating him to a 17th-place finish.
• The caution flag was shown three times for a total of 17 laps and the lead changed 11 times among eight drivers.

McMurray quotes:

“We started out pretty strong today with the McDonald’s Trick.Treat. Win! Camaro. I really thought that we would have about a 10^th-place car today. From the drop of the green flag we were able to pass a bunch of cars and then with some pit strategy, move up inside the top-10. I struggled with the balance of the car some today and just couldn’t get the top groove working as well as I hoped we could. Hopefully we can try to finish out strong in the next four races.”
