Cryan would pull away from Kocher to score a win on his “bucket list”.
“I let it all shake out in front of me and we had to save our stuff for the end, and we did that,” Cryan said in victory lane. “We let one get away in 2019 and I was not letting that happen again,” Cryan continued. Cryan thanked car owners Roy and Patrick Emerling plus all the members of the 09 crew.
