- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the Acceptance Insurance team had a promising run go array early in Talladega. Pérez de Lara rolled off from the 25th position, but made quick work to climb inside the top-10 in stage one. Just as he was pushing the middle lane forward with a couple of laps remaining in the first stage, the truck in front of him blew a tire which caused “the big one”. With nowhere to go, Pérez de Lara slammed into the outside wall and was done for the day. He was relegated to a 31st-place finish.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“It’s just a really unfortunate way for us to end our day with the Acceptance Insurance Chevy. I feel like we were putting ourselves in the right positions, but once the No. 52 (Stewart Friesen) had a problem in front of us, we were just passengers after that. We’re just going to regroup at Martinsville next week. It’s obviously not ideal, and I just feel bad for the team since they have to rebuild the truck. We’ll just look forward to next week and try to get a solid result there.”
