- Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team advanced through the field to a respectable finish in Bristol. Mills fought a tight-handling truck early on in the race and fell back down the running order through the midway point. Once the final stage began, Mills and team dug deep and made some adjustments which found some speed. Mills took the checkered flag in 16th, which marked his best finish at the high-banked short track.
- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“We kind of started off behind tonight, but it felt like the truck was going to be alright. We were making good progress at the beginning of the race, but in stage two, I don’t know what happened. My guys kept making adjustments trying to free our truck up, but it felt like it made it get tighter, which made the day even harder. We were playing catch up in stage three and started to come back through the field, but just ran out of time. Thank you to my crew for fighting and to everyone who supports us.”
