Landen Lewis - Black’s Tire 200 Race Recap
Event: Black’s Tire 200 (200 laps / 188 miles)
Round: 5 of 25 (Regular Season)
Track: Rockingham Speedway
Location: Rockingham, NC
Date & Time: Friday, April 3 | 4:30 PM ET
No. 45 J.F. Electric Chevrolet Silverado RST
Driver: Landen Lewis | Crew Chief: Phil Gould
Start: 9th | Stage 1: 10th | Stage 2: 12th
Finish: 14th | Driver Points: 19th | Owner Points: 3rd
- Key Takeaway: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team ran consistently throughout the race in Rockingham despite a handful of setbacks. Lewis qualified inside the top-10 to start the day, and gained an extra point in stage one. After a slight mistake on pit road, the No. 45 slid back a tad in the second run. Mired back in the field with a blistering pace, Lewis lost a lap in the final stage. Just after becoming eligible to take the wave around, however, the right-front tire went flat and forced him to pit. The rookie had to settle for a hard-earned 14th-place finish.
- Landen Lewis' Post-Race Thoughts:
“I felt like we had a top-10 truck and were making it better, but I made a mistake on pit road and that cost us a lot of track position. Then, we had a right-front tire go down when it looked like we were going to get back in the hunt. It was just a rough day all together, but I feel like my truck was really good. I just want to thank J.F. Electric, Greg Fowler, Josh Morris, Cody Efaw, and everyone that gives me this opportunity to come race. I need to clean up my mistakes and be better for next time. It was a good learning day, and as long as I learn from it, we’ll continue to make progress.”
