Frontstretch Line of the Week "I think there’s been some positives to build off of. It’s all new. Smaller team, we’re growing, a lot of hard work, like, very hands-on hard work by our guys. I would call it some good success. "We’re learning each other, quickly building a little notebook and getting to know each other. I think the positives would be at
Richmond, I think we could have finished top 15 there for sure; just got tight the last run. Had solid speed, we were racing around super good cars all day long. … That was encouraging." - Matt DiBenedetto on his start with Viking Motorsports at RSS Racing.
