BEN RHODES BATTLES AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY, EARNING HIS NINTH TOP-10 OF 2018 AND READIES FOR THE PLAYOFFS
“It’s a big contrast from last year – we got in on a tiebreaker, and now we’re in the Playoffs. We’ve been in since our win at Kentucky Speedway. It feels good – our whole season has been up and down. We were further back in points than I think we really should have been – I honestly, think we should be further ahead in Playoff points than where we are. But, we’re fourth in points, I’m happy about that. We’re back to where I think we should be, and the slate has been wiped clean. I feel really good about it. I wish our day at Bristol went a little bit better, but all in all our FEI World Equestrian Games Ford F-150 is clean and there is a lot to be thankful for.”
