- Key Takeaway: Conner Jones and the No. 41 team had to overcome a few early setbacks throughout the event at Bristol Motor Speedway. During practice, Jones spun and flat-spotted his tires, cutting his session short. After starting 27th, the team incurred a pit road penalty on the first stop of the night which resulted in a loss of track position. As the race went on, however, Jones and the Crowe Equipment crew began to make up some lost ground and eventually finished in 18th-place.
- Conner Jones' Post-Race Thoughts:
“My Crowe Equipment Chevy Silverado felt like it was better than where we ended up tonight. We had some mishaps in practice which really hurt us since we didn’t get the full session to work on our truck because I spun. We just started off too loose, and I guess I just overstepped its breaking point and spun out. That kind of hurt us in qualifying too, and we also started off too free in the race and trended a little too tight at the end. I had to run the top too much, and it took me a while to figure that out since we don’t really run up there too often. I had fun though, and am thankful to have my team behind me after tonight.”
