- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the No. 44 team had promising speed at Talladega, but couldn't catch a break at the end of the race to come away with the result they should have. For his first series start at the track, Pérez de Lara qualified mid-pack but made moves early on. Despite nearly getting cleaned out early on, the rookie climbed inside the top-five, but lost the pack on a green flag pit stop. In the end, the No. 44 crossed the line in 17th.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara's Post-Race Thoughts:
“We had a solid day, but it is kind of frustrating to not have a good result at the end. I think we played it conservative the whole race trying to be there at the end, which we were, but things didn’t fall our way in the last couple of restarts. So, it’s not our best day, but I was definitely happy to finish with the truck all together. I’m ready to focus on Martinsville and Phoenix to make a difference there and chase a really good result. We’ll come back to super speedway racing with more confidence to fight earlier in the race.”
