- Key Takeaway: Conner Jones and the Niece Equipment team had an early end to their race in Martinsville. Jones started the 200-lap race in 21st, gained a few positions early, and elected to make a pit stop before the end of the first stage. With a handful of laps remaining in stage two, the No. 4 truck began to drop back with a rear gear issue. Jones drove the truck behind the wall on lap 95 and was out of the race in 36th-place.
- Conner Jones’ Post-Race Thoughts:
“We had a pretty good truck tonight. I qualified in the back, and this place is all about track position. It’s hard to fight your way back through, and it just sucks to have a mechanical failure. The spotter was saying that we were running top-10 lap times, so maybe we could have finished there if we didn’t have that happen.”
