Bonsignore on the contact with Savary:

“It’s nothing different than what I would have done for the win. It happens pretty much on a weekly basis everywhere you race. He knew I had him beat on that one restart and did what he had to do.”
10:47
Savary on the last few laps:

“I almost spun on the backstretch on the white flag lap. I had nothing left. If that was one more lap, I would have been done. Everything in the race worked the way it had to work.

“I raced Justin hard to keep the lead. Racing, I don’t think he could have beat me but that restart gave him a great opportunity. I had to race him hard. I don’t feel as though I took him out, but I raced him hard.”
10:45
Richard Savary on his first career Lee USA Speedway win:

“I was saying on the ride up that I have been racing at Lee for a long time and in these Modified I’ve had three second-place finishes, as well as some really good runs. This is one of the few tracks in all of New England that I hadn’t won at. Now I can finally, at the end of my career, check it off.”
