- Key Takeaway: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the Comprehensive Logistics team had an up-and-down night in Bristol. Stenhouse Jr. started the 250-lap race in 21st-place. He began to inch forward through the opening two stages, but was caught in dirty air and didn't have much room to advance up the running board. In the final stage, Stenhouse Jr. was caught up in an incident and spun on the backstretch. Unfortunately, a right-rear tire unraveled late in the going which necessitated a green flag pit stop. The team crossed the line in 26th-place.
- Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s Post-Race Thoughts:
“We had a lot going on tonight. I thought our practice session was decent, and I went a little conservative on our qualifying lap, but I thought our Comprehensive Logistics Chevy had more speed than what we showed in qualifying. At the start of the race, we were too tight, but I felt like we were about the same speed as the next 10 trucks in front of us, so it just kind of goes back to the qualifying lap. I wish we could have that back. We ran around there for most of the night, and it seemed like every wreck was right in front of us. I thought I had every one of them missed, but they clipped us in the right side. All-in-all, I still love running around Bristol, and think we made good changes after halfway to get the truck handling better. After we made those changes, that should help our team build a little bit better notebook for a starting point, so I’m proud of everyone’s efforts tonight.”
