- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the Precision Vehicle Logistics De Mexico team fought an uphill battle in Rockingham. After starting in 12th-place, Pérez de Lara was just getting settled in at the start when he broke loose and made contact with the outside wall. The No. 44 was forced to pit under green on multiple occasions and lost several laps in the process. Though the team was able to finish the race, they did not secure the result they had hoped for. The sophomore driver was credited with a 32nd-place finish.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara's Post-Race Thoughts:
“I messed up there early in the race, and wish we could have had more laps to show our real speed, but we’re never going to get to know how today could have gone if that didn’t happen. It’s a shame that we have had two unfortunate results back-to-back, but I know we can build back from them. Thank you to Precision Vehicle Logistics de Mexico, our team owners, and all of the No. 44 guys for having my back. I’m looking forward to Bristol next week; it’s a place that we feel confident at and have a lot of speed with our team. It’s going to be a good one.”
