- Key Takeaway: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team experienced some close calls and made some great saves in the season finale at Homestead-Miami. Lewis rolled off the starting grid from 14th and rebounded after making a substantial slide in stage one. After a smooth stage two, the No. 45 team made a charge to climb inside the top-10 in the final stage. With less than 20 laps to go, Lewis got clipped in the left-rear and executed another masterful save to hang onto his truck. The rookie kept his cool, pressed on, and crossed the finish line with a respectable result in 14th-place.
- Landen Lewis’ Post-Race Thoughts: Interviewer: Landen Lewis, a hard-fought night. Just how did you feel about tonight overall?
“Overall, I thought, well, it’s my first time here, so I had a lot of learning to do throughout the first stage and made good gains. I feel like we ended up like 13th or 14th in stage one and had really good pit stops all night long. They did a great job on pit road and got me the track position. We were running right there inside the top-10 and I was really happy. Obviously, we want to go win and go run around the top-three, but you’ve got to build the stepping stones first before you start running. I was really happy with everything how it was going, and then with how that cycle worked at the very end, there were a couple trucks that stayed out on older tires and it kind of jumbled everybody up and put me in a bad spot. We almost wrecked in turn three, had a good save, and at that point obviously the tires were just junked. But overall, it’s just a great night and I’m so proud of this J.F. Electric Chevrolet. Niece Motorsports, Phil Gould, and everyone just welcomed me in all year long by giving me good trucks and getting me the experience that I need. Again, I’m proud to be a part of this team, and I just can’t wait to build.”
