Hailie Deegan Quote: “Unbelievably frustrating weekend for our No. 15 AirBox Ford Mustang AM Racing team. We had a spark plug wire issue throughout the race and it hindered us from the opportunity to be competitive.
“The flat tire late in the race didn’t help matters either. It’s frustrating, but our passion to perform is there and we’ll look to Sonoma for an opportunity to rebound and give us some welcomed momentum for the month of June.”
