Joe Graf Jr. Quote: “Disappointed to end the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season the way we did. Our No. 08 Bucked Up Energy Chevrolet was rather good during that first stage, but as the track changed, so did our car and unfortunately, we could never get the balance to like it was during that first run.

“Late in the race, we had a setback after some contact with the wall and just never could recover from there. I can’t thank Bobby (Dotter, team owner), Patrick (Donahue, crew chief and the SS GreenLight Racing guys for their hard work this season.

“It was a very unorthodox season with the coronavirus, and I know we didn’t accomplish all the goals we set forth, but hopefully there’s an opportunity to change that in 2021.”
