- Key Takeaway: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team had a tough night in Indianapolis. Lewis started the race in 20th-place, but passed a handful of trucks in the first stage. Despite losing a lap, the No. 45 team made significant progress with the handling after making adjustments in stage two. Lewis was fighting for the free pass in the final stage when two trucks made contact directly in front of him. With nowhere to escape, Lewis got collected in a hard crash. He was credited with a 35th-place finish with an early exit.
- Landen Lewis’ Post-Race Thoughts:
Interviewer: Landen, you told me you were in the wrong spot at the wrong time. What positives can you take from tonight?
“Oh, just a lot of positives for sure. We made the truck way better from stage one to stage two, and I think we were running like the sixth-place lap times which I thought was great. We drove up to ninth without being scored ninth, so I’m just proud of the group effort we had. Our J.F. Electric / Utilitra Chevrolet was really fast tonight. We made it better all night long. I guess we got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I definitely don’t like to be standing here, but it is what it is and you have those moments throughout racing. It’s just how you come back from them.”
