- Recapping San Diego: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team overcame adversity and came home with a solid result in San Diego. Despite qualifying ninth, the team started the race from the tail of the field due to unapproved changes after Lewis made heavy contact with the wall at the end of the qualifying session. Not to be deterred, Lewis climbed back up to ninth in the first stage, and elected to ‘flip the stage’ by pitting before the conclusion of stage two. The No. 45 team rallied back inside the top-10 for the overtime restart, and Lewis made daring moves to get into the picture. Lewis brought the truck across the line in fourth-place, notching his career-best NCTS finish.
- Owner Points Outlook: Lewis’ top-five finish in San Diego brought the No. 45 team closer to their nearest competitors in the owner point standings. Ahead of Lime Rock, the team remains in eighth-place overall, just two points behind McAnally-Hilgemann Racing’s No. 91 Chevrolet in seventh and four points behind TRICON Garage’s No. 17 team in sixth. The team has a 43-point lead over Spire Motorsports’ No. 77 Chevrolet in ninth, and sits 56 points over the cutline.
- Quoting Lewis: A couple of months ago, you got to run the Trans-Am race at this track. How much did that experience help you prepare for your first truck race here?
“Well, I think the first thing that race helped me with is getting familiar with the track and learning all the corners. I think that helped me a ton with the driving part that I feel like I struggled with at St. Pete. I worked super hard after that race and made a gain on it, so I’m looking forward to returning to Lime Rock.”
