Levi Jones, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet/Bass Pro Shops/Maxim for Tony Stewart Racing (TSR):

“We went out for qualifying late and were able to come away second quick. That really helped to put us in a good position early on in the night. At the start of the heat race, the car was really good. We were battling for the third position and I had contact with another car that turned down on me. I got upside-down and we left the track on the hook, but Rob (Hart, crew chief) and John (Sayne, crew) had parts ready on the truck to get the car back together. We went out for the semi-feature with a car that was as good as new and we did what we needed to in order to get in the feature.

 “In the feature, I tried the top in the early laps and got behind a little bit. I had to work my way back up to the front but we had a good car and I was able to get to the front and make the pass for the lead. It was great to win the first race of the year for Tony Stewart Racing, Chevy, Bass Pro Shops and Armor All. Donny (Schatz, TSR World of Outlaws Sprint Series driver) won the outlaw race at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway on Saturday night, but our race was over several hours before theirs finished. I was joking after we found out that he had won that he may have set quick time and won but we technically got TSR’s first win of the year because our race ended first. We’re really excited to have put that ‘W’ in the win column and we’re looking forward to heading to Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway and Eldora Speedway next weekend.”
