- Recapping Bristol: Tyler Reif and the AutoVentive / Precision Vehicle Logistics team had a promising run in Bristol, but never got the chance to see it through. Reif qualified 24th, but found his footing early and began to charge forward. Towards the conclusion of stage two, however, Reif was taken out in a crash after another competitor made contact with him entering turn three. His night ended early with a disappointing 34th-place finish.
- Owner Points Outlook: Following Tyler Reif’s incident in Bristol, the No. 42 team dropped five positions in the owner points standings to 26th-place. Entering Texas, the team is one point behind Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 team in 25th, and is 12 points ahead of Rackley WAR’s No. 26 Chevrolet in 27th.
- Quoting Jones: What are your thoughts about racing at Texas Motor Speedway?
“I’m excited to get back to Texas because it is a very difficult place to get around. I like the tracks that are challenging to find speed at, and I think our Niece Motorsports team has a good aerodynamic package here. I’m hopeful that we will have speed on Friday night with our No. 42 Comprehensive Logistics Chevy.”
