Matt was able to change the tire but would go to the rear of the field on the restart. Matt would charge through the field into the top ten late in the feature but suffered a broken valve in the motor finishing 22nd in the final run down.
"We had a really good car all three nights and again just had some bad luck that kept us from getting a win out there. Getting that flat tire early in Saturday's feature was a bummer because I really felt I had a car to win Saturday, but we ended up breaking a motor so I guess it didn't matter. Were excited about going back to Eldora and hopefully getting a win to go along with our track championship this year", stated Matt.
