Pérez de Lara started deep in the field but methodically worked his way to the front in the draft.

- Andrés Pérez de Lara's Post-Race Thoughts:
“I think we’ve got to be happy with our result tonight. Obviously, leaving with a clean truck in Daytona is a sign of a good night. We were there and I learned a lot. I wish we could have ended just a couple spots better, but it was a good performance overall for the whole Acceptance Insurance team. We executed like we needed, and will be stronger for the next ones with the experience we’re getting and the speed we’re showing.”
