Daniel Suárez, Driver of the No. 96 CommScope Toyota Camry: 

“We had a decent race going in our CommScope Toyota until we got wrecked with 30 (laps) to go. That’s how it goes at Dover. It’s been one of my best tracks as far as getting results there in real life. The virtual life there today was not very kind, though. I hope the fans at home enjoyed all the excitement.”
