- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the Acceptance Insurance team showcased resilience in Charlotte. Pérez de Lara had to start towards the rear of the field once qualifying was cancelled due to rain, but he navigated through the pack in the opening stage. The No. 44 truck had speed, and his pit crew gained him spots on multiple occasions. While running just outside the top-10 in the final stage, however, Pérez broke loose while running under another truck and went for a spin. Luckily, the truck did not receive any damage, and Pérez was able to continue on in the race. He was credited with a 19th-place finish.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“It was a little bit of a chaotic race. We had to start in the back due to the metric, and I feel like we made some gains. Our Acceptance Chevy had some speed, but we just got caught in some bad situations throughout the race. That last spin at the end killed our chances at putting together a good result, but we have the speed. We’re ready to go back to Nashville and see what we can do there.”
