Quotes from the Top Finishers:
Zach Holden
"It was a good Sunday, I'm happy with how it turned out. I saw battling behind me, looked in my mirrors and knew I had to set consistent fast laps."
Matthew Cowley:
"Zach had pace on all of us in that race. I was hanging onto the draft but Yuven came into the mix and Zach got away. We've had three podiums this weekend on all three steps."
Yuven Sundaramoorthy:
"It was pretty frantic. I stayed in the back and watched it. With five laps to go I caught up, made it to third, had a chance of second but messed up turn one on the last lap."
Joel Haas:
"That was a lot of fun out there. I was driving much harder than the times would indicate, that was everything I had. I was lucky to keep Mike (Scanlan) behind me."
