Hudson O'Neal Racing on his third place finish with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series at West Virginia Motor Speedway:
"I tried to just give that bottom everything I had because I knew if we just moved up there behind Tyler, unless he made a mistake up there against the cushion, it was going to be really hard to get by him. So we tried and tried that bottom and finally right there with 20 or so to go we had to move out and then I chose the bottom on a restart, which I don't know if I was right or wrong. I think how I approached 1 and 2 after the restart was why I let Drake back by him. And then I battled him a little bit there at the end to try to get back underneath of him.
Had a really good race car. I felt really good. Had really good traction around that bottom. And then I felt like even when I moved to the top I had pretty good balance against the cushion too, just not much you can do when the cushion's that big, but the bottom kept up pretty good as well. West Virginia Motor Speedway worked hard the last few months to give us a good race track and it was a lot of fun to come here. Looking forward to coming back for the Dirt Track World Championship as well.
Congrats to Tyler, he ran a great race. Drake as well. And everybody on this race car. And all my guys: Jason, Riley, Kyle, Logan. SSI Motorsports, Sub Surface of Indiana, Wheeler Metals, Merrill Bonding Company, Big River Steel, Indiana USSSA, Professional Concrete, O'Neal's Salvage & Recycling, Penske Racing Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, Longhorn Chassis, Beeman Lumber, Lineal Contracting, everybody that's apart of it.
We'll keep working at it. We got a really good race car. We just got to-. Haven't won one here for a month or two, but we're right there. We're battling each and every one of them. We just gotta find that extra little bit, maybe 1/2 tenth or tenth and we'll start winning them again."
