Las Vegas Motor Speedway Waves the Green Flag
Intensity mounts as the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs have reached the Round of 12 and four of the original 16-driver Playoff field have been eliminated – Tyler Reddick, Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, and Michael McDowell.
Tough way to end our playoff stint. We certainly left more than two points out there for the easy taking. But we will learn from this experience and grow stronger as a team at @RCRracing for the future. Thanks for all the support from the fans and friends. Lot of fight left in us

Reflecting back on this playoff run. It was a wild ride, but we just couldn’t overcome the adversity we were dealt. Ready for these next seven races to show what we’ve got 💪. Watch our full #BeyondThe10 here: https://t.co/sCzXfn2qs8 pic.twitter.com/uW4EOyMIh7

Obviously devastated. Thought we could make a deep run but last night we were not a championship team. I’ve always said we win as a team & lose as a team. There are 7 more races to win and my promise to our fans is that we’re not going to just give up. pic.twitter.com/g4Zh1LYE5U

They gave it their all tonight. Unfortunately, without power steering, @Mc_Driver had his work cut out for him.
