| KRISILOFF NASHVILLE NOTES |
After fighting a loose handling condition, Krisiloff pitted made his first pit stop at Lap 38. Crew chief Billy Gerhart made a slight air pressure adjustment to try and correct the loose condition. While exiting pit road, Krisiloff inadvertently hit a tire causing significant damage to the front valence. This damage did not stop Krisiloff from advancing his ditech.com Monte Carlo to the third position and running lap times that were equal to or faster than the leaders. With a yellow flag being displayed for a spin in Turn 3, the team's second pit stop came just after Lap 80. Again, the crew made air-pressure changes to help the handling of the ditech.com Monte Carlo and pulled off a blistering pit stop to send Krisiloff out first. However, Kyle inadvertently pulled onto the racetrack immediately after coming out of the pits and didn't utilize the access road. ARCA assessed a penalty to Kyle for this mistake and he was sent to the tail of the longest line. Once the race resumed Krisiloff went to work right away by passing several of the cars ahead of him on the track in a matter of only a few laps. He was solidly in the Top 10 when Krisiloff's Chevrolet spun coming out of turn 4, ending up in the infield grass. Before Krisiloff could get the engine restarted the leaders passed him on the track placing him the first car 1 lap down. Once racing resumed with only a handful of laps remaining, Krisiloff held his ground and finished the race under a green/white/checkered finish in the 13 th position. “I knew we would have a good car today for the race, the team really worked hard to get prepared for the race, I was really proud of there efforts”, said crew chief Billy Gerhart after race. “A few things didn't go our way today, but we will move on and get ready for Kentucky.” MEDIA INFORMATION: Marcus Hite, Director of Marketing
