MATT CRAFTON COMES UP SHORT FOR HIS THIRD CHAMPIONSHIP – FINISHES FOURTH IN THE SEASON STANDINGS AFTER A SIXTH-PLACE FINISH AT HOMESTEAD 

“The first run we were pretty good, just got really, really free. As the night went on we just got freer, and freer. We would tighten it up, and we’d run good for about half the run, and then it would go away. All-in-all, we can’t hang our heads – we’ll get em’ next year.”
