- Recapping North Wilkesboro: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team earned their third top-five finish in a row at North Wilkesboro Speedway. After starting in 16th-place, the No. 45 slid back in the opening stage. The team made adjustments to change the balance on the first two stops of the race, helping Lewis begin to move forward. In the final stage, the team moved into the top-10 and held their track position throughout the closing laps. Lewis crossed the finish line in fifth-place, notching his third top-five and fourth top-10 result of the season.
- Owner Points Outlook: With no added stage points, Lewis’ fifth-place finish at North Wilkesboro dropped the No. 45 team to seventh-place in the owner point standings.
- Quoting Lewis: Are there any other tracks that you’ve raced in the CARS Tour that remind you of IRP?
“Honestly, I’m going to say Langley just because of how flat it is. Langley doesn’t have multiple grooves like IRP, but the tracks are pretty similar and it takes a lot of skill to get around both. IRP is a super fun racetrack; it puts on great racing and tests you as a race car driver. Everything has to be so close and you have to be on your A-game. It’s one of my favorite tracks and I’m looking forward to racing there on Friday night with our J.F. Electric Silverado.”
