the prey behind.
"I love it. That was the best race
of my life," Morais said. "So much
fun. So much passing. Ridiculous.
I know it's an endurance race, 57
laps, but it felt like a sprint race. It
was really, really cool.
"The pit stops went well. The
first stop, for some reason, before
the first straightaway, the back
was locked up and I went straight
on over there. So, I rejoined in
20th-something place and worked
myself up to I think 12th before
the red flag, and then after that it

ent aero on. I was short-shi ing a li le. I
didn't learn how to dra un l discussing

and I stayed high thinking, 'Should I be
down there, or should I be up here?' I
think it was 16 years or 17 years ago, so I
kind of forgot how to dra like this. It's a
very unique racetrack. Very special. And
it's very special just to be here and stand-
ing on top of the box."

"My team has been pu ng a ton of ef-
fort into our program. I felt like we were
really prepared for Daytona," Hayden
Schultz said. "So, to have what hap-
pened yesterday, I was gu ed to throw
that race away because I know we have
the speed to win and to pull off what
we did today. So, that made today that
much sweeter. If I would have had to
drive home knowing that I threw away
a grand opportunity to get a win or at
least start the season on the podium,
that would have been a really difficult
few weeks. I'm so excited that we finally
got it done. I just want to try to use this
momentum to get through the rest of
the season and see if we can rack up a
few podiums."
