Butterbean was asked, “Last week was RAM’s return for the first time in 13 years, can you tell us how your weekend went?
A: Being one of the main drivers for RAM is a dream come true for any driver just being with an OEM, so I felt like going there we didn’t know how qualifying was going to go but at the same time we were really positive. We know the guys in the shop are grinding out and getting the job done, and I had all the faith it would race good. We were able to stay out of trouble, which obviously the main goal at Daytona, and we finished in the top ten. It’s kind of cool that the first top ten for RAM, and its history forever and obviously we want to chase that win.

Austin Hill was asked by Mike Hembree of NASCAR.com, “You underlined last week last week that you’re pretty good in the O’Reilly series. Is your continued success make you want to push more full time with the Cup Series?”
Austin answered, “The end goal has always been to run Cup and give it a shot for two or three years, but I have a lot of fun where I’m at, at RCR and with this Series. But if the right opportunity presents itself to go Cup racing and I would definitely entertain that. As of right I’m fully committed to this Series. These cars are by far way more fun to drive than Cup cars. The O’Reilly Series is where it’s at for me. I have a lot of fun doing what I’m doing right now.”
