“Another night where we could have used 10 more laps,” Elliott said. “The Aaron’s Dream Machine started out on the tight side, but we knew it would come around. We just wore out our stuff there trying to get through traffic early in the race. Once we got up front in clean air, the car was awesome, there just weren’t enough laps. I am working on my driving style to better put the car in a position to win just a little sooner each week. The car will come around a little quicker and be better at the end if I drive a different race so I am trying to figure that one out. Ricky Turner (crew chief) and the guys gave me an awesome car again this weekend, and I’m really proud of how we have been running. A big thank you to Aaron’s, Ricky and the guys, dad and mom and all of our product sponsors for everyone’s support and for letting me do what I love to do.”
