- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the Acceptance Insurance team appeared to have a clean run going in Texas but got swept away in a late-race crash. Pérez de Lara qualified the highest out of his teammates in 15th-place but fought the handling on his truck which made it difficult to maintain track position. The No. 44 pit crew made several adjustments throughout the race and kept him in the hunt for a top-10 finish, but he was forced into the wall twice by his fellow competitors and ultimately had too much damage to finish. He was credited with a 30th-place result.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“Unfortunately, we just got ran into the wall twice which ended our night. Overall, we lacked pace tonight, so we just have to keep getting better as a team. We could have salvaged a good result, but bad luck strikes again. We’ll take some of the positives out of tonight with our Acceptance Insurance Chevy and see what Watkins Glen has in store for us next week.”
