"I got off to the holeshot, but
I struggled a little bit and Archer
got around me," said Steede. "I
kind of hung out about 10 sec
-
onds behind her until lap four,
where I caught her and passed
her for
the lead. After that, we
kind of went back and forth,
but I was feeling really good so
I just waited for the right time,
and on the last lap I passed her
kind of just hang out, and with
it being the first race, let every
-
body kind of do their deal. I had
a good start
and I saw leaders,
and I was in a good spot the
whole race. I waited until the
end to put on a charge and try
and get to the lead. It was hard
to pass, but I got it done and
came out with the win."
