Riley Herbst (98) and Chandler Smith (81) are having a discussion when MRN attempt to talk to Chandler Smith.

Riley Herbst said he was talking to Chandler about a run he took in the wrong spot – in two – and that cost Chandler, Riley, and Sheldon the race.

Chandler said he couldn’t hear out of his right earbud and could barely hear out of the left earbud so he couldn’t really hear what Riley was saying, but he’s really frustrated that he came so close and once again didn’t win the race. He doesn’t know why he can’t win the race. Sadly Riley was explaining to him why he didn’t win the race. When you need driving advice from Riley Herbst you’re very unready to compete in the series.
