It&#8217;s always full of excitement, and this race was no exception for us. \u00a0It was tough. There was a lot of attrition, we saw a lot of broken competitors out there. \u00a0It had every single element you can imagine. \u00a0But this Ridgeline is so tough, it fought through everything to get to the finish. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a bittersweet race for me. \u00a0I&#8217;m going to be stepping back from driving duties next season. So this was probably my last time behind the wheel, and we were able to put the Ridgeline [in winner&#8217;s circle]. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of our whole team. \u00a0We&#8217;ve got some exciting plans coming out in the next three-four weeks. \u00a0We&#8217;re going to announce our [2023] schedule and our new driver.
