Sting Ray Robb #51 Biohaven Honda – Dale Coyne Racing with RWR
“We made it! Top 33. We’re going racing next Sunday. Thanks to the crew, it’s all thanks to the crew. All the glory goes to God. I can’t thank everyone enough. The opportunities we’ve been given and the hard work we’ve put in, not just today or yesterday but the whole year so far. I don’t even know what to say at this point. It’s not the position we wanted to be in, but we got it done. It’s because everyone was focused, and we had faith all along the way. I’m super thankful to the Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing crew. The #51 Biohaven Honda got the job done today and we’ll be starting 32nd for the race next Sunday.”
