- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the DQS Solutions & Staffing team had a hard-fought day in Richmond. Pérez de Lara qualified inside the top-10 in eighth-place, but lacked long-run pace and slid down the running order early on. The driver reported that his truck was free on entry and tight in the center, which prompted adjustments after going a lap down. Though the team worked hard to shift the balance, Pérez de Lara was unable to make up the lost ground. He was credited with a 23rd-place finish.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“It was a tough day at the office with our DQS Chevy today. We struggled a lot with balance, and we knew we were going to have a difficult time with our long-runs based off yesterday’s practice. We tried to fix it, but could never figure out the best setup today. It was a frustrating day, but we have our eyes on New Hampshire where we had a good result last year, so we will hopefully go back next week and have a good race.”
