Franchitti scored an 11th-place finish in the Food City 250.
UNOFFICIALLY Franchitti trails Landon Cassill by one point (160-159) in the Raybestos Rookie standings.
FRANCHITTI QUOTES: “That was cool. To lead at Bristol was awesome. And the guys I was racing against, Cale [Gale] is a fellow Raybestos Rookie. He raced me very clean all night. It was fun to be up there with Bowyer and those guys. The last set of tires it was tight and once I punched the fender it [racing a lapped car] it was really tight [smiles]. That’s a shame that that happened but we were here tonight.” THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH SEASON BUT YOU WERE COMPETITIVE HERE. WAS THIS A BIG CONFIDENCE BOOST FOR YOU? “We ran well again last week you know and we ran well at Watkins Glen so that’s three where we ran pretty well. We’ll just keep pushing.”
Brad Keselowski leads Joey Logano by four races (7-3) in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings.
