- Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 J.F. Electric team put forth a great effort in IRP, but couldn't find track position to move through the field. Mills started the race in 25th, and noted that his Chevrolet was tight early on. Through the first two stages, the team made several adjustments to help free his truck up, and were able to take advantage of the free pass to get back into contention. With a quick race pace and lack of cautions in the final stage, the team crossed the line in 22nd-place.
- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“We didn’t start off very strong there in stage one, but Mike (Shiplett) made some great calls and good changes to get us our lap back and have some speed where we could make a little progress. At the end there, the changes that we were making ended up going the opposite way from how we were hoping they would. That kind of limited us on what we could do, and we fell off pretty hard there halfway through the last stage. Just couldn’t really hold our ground, but we brought home a clean J.F. Electric Chevy and found some momentum in certain ways.”
