"We had a tough go in practice, but Bobby and the SS Green Light guys worked hard on our tiwi Chevy," said McCumbee. "The guys did a great job and it is unfortunate how we ended our day." "I want to thank tiwi for coming on board with us, they have been just a fantastic partner for these first three races and we are really trying to build something with them. The tiwi is a fantastic product for families with teen drivers. We would not have been able to make it to the Mile without their last-minute support. tiwi will be on our truck for at least three more races. Kentucky in July, Chicago in August and Las Vegas in September," McCumbee said. "I also want to thank the Lynch Superstore for helping us out this weekend."
