No. 42 J.F. Electric / Utilitra Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Matt Mills | Crew Chief: Jon Leonard |
Start: 26th Stage 1: 26th Stage 2: 18th Finish: 23rd Driver Points: 23rd Owner Points: 26th |
– Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team had a relatively uneventful day at WWT Raceway. Mills qualified in the 26th position and would finish in the same spot at the conclusion of stage one. Jon Leonard called for significant changes in stage two, and the group would climb to 18th at the stage. Citing a tight condition, Mills lost a bit of track position en-route to a 23rd-place finish. – Matt Mills’ Post-Race Thoughts: “We struggled from the get-go today, just fought a free-handling truck from the beginning of the first stage. We pitted to make some adjustments and try to get better, but ultimately ended up going the wrong way. By stage two, we got it tightened up, but ended up getting too tight. Overall, we lacked some raw speed. We had some top-15 lap times, but it just wasn’t what we needed today. Brought home another finish that almost wasn’t tore up right until the end there, but that’s just part of it. We’ll keep learning as we go onto the next one.” |
No. 45 Chevy Accessories Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Connor Mosack | Crew Chief: Phil Gould |
Start: 18th Stage 1: 25th Stage 2: 26th Finish: 22nd Driver Points: 31st Owner Points: 7th |
– Key Takeaway: Connor Mosack and the No. 45 team had high hopes for a solid run in Gateway, but sustained damage early on. Mosack qualified 18th, but had to make repairs in stage one, dropping to 25th. They went on to finish 26th in stage two, but the damage proved to be too heavy to enable him to move up the running order. Mosack would walk away with a 22nd-place result in his second start with Niece Motorsports. – Connor Mosack’s Post-Race Thoughts: “Overall, it was a long day for us. We had a decent truck, but got some left-front damage when we got ran into the wall on lap three. That’s where our problems really started since we were tight after that. Once we stayed out, I felt like we could hold our own pretty well and run in the top-five, but our damage caved in on the left front tire and almost cut it down. We were too tight in traffic to work our way forward the rest of the day. Just an unfortunate one all around, but I have to say a big thank you to everyone at Chevrolet and Niece Motorsports for bringing what I thought was a top-10 truck. Just had that damage early that hurt us too much for the rest of the day.” |
