- Key Takeaway: Tyler Reif and the Comprehensive Logistics team had speed in Nashville, but their night came to an early close. Reif started 14th for the 150-lap race and maintained track position in the opening stage. At the start of stage two, however, Reif made a daring three-wide move on a restart and lost control of his truck. The rookie made significant contact with the outside SAFER barrier, and the damage proved too heavy to continue. The No. 42 team was credited with a 36th-place finish.
- Tyler Reif’s Post-Race Thoughts:
Interviewer: Tyler Reif, you’re out early here in Nashville at the start of stage two. First of all, are you okay, and how hard was that hit?
“Yeah, I’m just fine. I think I’m hurt more emotionally than physically. It wasn’t a super hard hit; the truck is beat up, but I’m just super bummed emotionally and down on myself for making a mistake that early in the race when I’m here to make laps and learn for next year. I’m just going to watch the film and try not to make that mistake the next time I run back here.”
Interviewer: How heartbreaking is this since you’re making limited starts and this was one you didn’t get all the laps in?
“Right, I mean, we got half of practice in with a little bit of rain. We never got a chance to mock-up, but luckily, we had a pretty good starting position off the metric. We stayed in the top-15 for half of the first stage and had a good stop where I executed on pit lane. The team executed during the pit stop, and we got back up in the top-15 there. Stefan (Parsons), Rajah (Caruth), and I were just door-to-door-to-door coming into (turn) three, and I had never experienced that before at this level of speed after losing that much side force. Nobody to blame that on but myself for getting in a bad position. I’m eager to go forward and eager to learn. I’m just going to go home, try to sleep on it, and be better for the next one.”
