I don’t even know where to start, thank you all so much for the support. I wanted to win so dang bad. The crowd reaction after the race absolutely broke me down and melted my heart. My entire team is so amazing and I’m lucky to have @MikeCWheeler as crew chief...he is THE BEST

I don’t even have the words to describe how thankful I am!! Paul is such a great guy and I’m lucky to call him a friend and I wish him the best! So excited to take over and drive for one of the most legendary teams in NASCAR next year! I have so many people to thank!!!! 🥳
Here’s one you weren’t expecting:
Paul is stepping away from full time competition at the end of the season and @mattdracing will be taking over our @MenardsRacing @MQL_Racing Mustang, starting in 2020.
Surprised eh?

Hell of a job tonight @dennyhamlin...a memory I will never forget battling you for the win at Bristol. Hopefully we can do it many more times to come in the future! I have a ton of respect for Denny and really appreciate all the genuine things he said to me post race

One day I aspire to finish a superspeedway race. So much is out of our control. Just bummed to not get our team, @stoolpresidente and the one bite car to victory lane or at least to the damn finish line

I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life...unbelievable. This brought emotion to not only myself but all of my 95 guys for their hard work in building this single car operation ❤️
Here’s something I’ll remember for a long, long time: The Bristol crowd erupts as @mattdracing appears on the video board.

DO NOT be rude to strangers. I’ve encountered far too many people lately (another today) who either can’t mind their own business, or are rude for no reason. Practice being kind and respectful to others. It’s becoming a lost art

Today during pre-race we will show the world what LOVE for one another looks like. Love for the entire human race. No politics, no agenda or narrative, no attacking people for their views, just love and spreading positivity. We can’t let terrible people drag us down

Not their fault, they did not know. The whole Nascar community is praying hard
#NASCAR ... Car owner Joe Gibbs apologizes in media center for team celebrating Daytona 500 win in light of Ryan Newman's crash.
Gibbs said team didn't know about severity of Newman's crash until being informed about it in victory lane.

That means a lot brother thank you so much!
Add me to the list of @mattdracing fans. I know the feeling of being that close, but that doesn’t happen on accident. Sure hope he lands somewhere good.

Thank you Paige! I’m hoping for the best. There are a few different groups involved in the decision making process but I hope they keep me in the 21 to win many races together! Stressful times 😓
Yessss @DaleJarrett ! Time to renew Matt’s contract! He is a hard racer and a great racer and deserves a contract extension!

This guy having zero awareness ruined our day. Had a very fast car at the end. Lovely
A heavy hit for @P1_Houff brings out a late caution.

No words can express the disappointment I’m feeling right now and also not being able to finish the season out. I really want to thank my fans for always being there for me, it means the world to me and I’ll always be there for you. Thank you NASCAR and Craftsman for such an awesome series that I love competing in with all my heart! Working on 2024 and will update you all soon!

These awesome fans drove all the way from Colorado and waited outside of the racetrack to have me sign some things and to say hello. These moments really make me so appreciative and blow me away! (Especially since I don’t think I’m that cool of a guy 😂)

What @stoolpresidente and the #barstoolfund are doing is nothing short of incredible. Small businesses are the backbone of our country! Tay and I donated and I ask you all to please share and continue helping! 👏
Thanks to Stoolie Nation and everybody else who donated. The more we raise the more small businesses we can save together #barstoolfund

Sorry for the angry tweet earlier, just really frustrated that circumstances have been so awful for us the first 4 races and today having a fast car and another thing out of our control happen with the air gun breaking, it just drives me crazy because our team deserves better

What did you guys think of the double header this past weekend racing on Saturday and Sunday with shorter length races to allow us to race the same car and engine both days? I personally enjoyed it!

Great car, shit luck again. Air gun broke on the last stop and got 3 new tires on and ran an old LF for the entire last stage and nursed it home. It’s almost a damn joke at this point

Ran around the top 5 all day and then we had to drive 3 and 4 wide from 18th or so to 3rd in the final 2 restarts...I’d say my @woodbrothers21 team gave me a fast car 😂

Thanks PK! And I couldn’t agree more. Paul and his family are such a huge part of this sport. We all should show them the love and support!
Wow, congratulations @mattdracing ! As for Paul, I think all race fans should say thank you to him and his family for all they have done for this sport and continue to do.

I can’t begin to explain how proud I am of the team keeping calm, taking a car with with suspension damage, no splitter, no fender, etc and fighting to get our lap back and come back to 12th. My whole @woodbrothers21 @MQL_Racing team deserves a TON of credit!

P6 today…had a really fast Mustang! Had to overcome adversity and fight back at the end and that makes it 6 races in a row where our WORST finish is 11th. That is 100% credit to my whole team. @jhass_03 and our whole group have really clicked together. Chasing that win! 💪🏻
