Joe Graf Jr. Quote: “What a bummer for everyone on this No. 07 Z Grills Chevrolet team. We had a strong car. The team did an amazing job too. We started from the back and worked our way inside the top-10 for a lot of laps.
“Shortly after that round of green-flag pit stops, we cut down a tire and ended up getting into the wall and taking some other drivers with us. I hate it for them, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“We did our best to make repairs but unfortunately the rain showed and any chance to recover from our setback was gone. We have to get this monkey off our back, and I hope Darlington Raceway is the answer.”
