- Key Takeaway: Andrés Pérez de Lara and the Telcel team had quite the evening at Bristol. After starting 27th, Pérez de Lara found himself in early trouble after another competitor sent him into a spin and caused him to lose a lap. The No. 44 team fought hard to get back on the lead lap, but traffic ahead kept receiving the free pass. Finally, Pérez de Lara was able to get his lap back in the final stage, but was quickly involved in another incident. After making repairs, he was nearly spun once again, but made a nice save. The team rallied back heavily through the last few runs, and came home with a 17th-place finish.
- Andrés Pérez de Lara's Post-Race Thoughts:
“It was a very chaotic race for us tonight on the Telcel team. We started behind with the incident outside of our control, but I feel like finishing 17th after everything that happened to us is a okay result. I wish we could have shown our speed from the beginning, but this was just one of those nights where we battled and never gave up. It’s a decent finish for us, but we’ll start looking ahead to Texas and try to rebound for more.”
