Comment from Smith on German's performance:
Smith said he was especially proud of Fernandez for performing at a high level in two races on the day after battling through injuries the past two seasons.
“German Fernandez is coming back and I’m just so happy for him,” Smith said. “He’s such a good kid, he works so hard and it’s been hard on him to struggle the last two years. He’s finding his rhythm again and he’s going to get better.”
