After the race, Anthony told us “This weekend has been like a dream that I haven't woken up from yet. Pops (Rich McPhillips Sr.) and Rich (McPhillips Jr.), the crew and everyone involved, made sure I had the car to go rounds. Watching everyone work so hard to get this Fendt car running great like it did was very rewarding.”
