"I'll tell you what," Josh Hayes said a er
Saturday's win. "About five laps in, I
thought, 'Well, I'm ge ng fourth today.
I've got nothing. I've got nothing anywhere
on the track.' I felt like there was a point
in the race where it kind of started to turn
my way. I just focused on making one pass.
I finally got some posi on on Rocco, which
was really, really hard to do. When I got
through, it seemed like Tyler [Sco ] kind of
came back to me not too crazy hard, and
Josh [Herrin] was s ll right there, too. I
can't remember if that was before or a er
Sam [Lochoff] went off the track. When he
came back on, it was a li le scary. I kind
of just missed him. That next lap, there
were a few key pieces of racetrack where
I was maintaining my speed and was able
to bring him back to me a li le bit. Then
it was just a ma er of posi oning. But,
eventually, I kind of was able to get to all
the right places and then lead."
