- Key Takeaway: Tyler Reif and the AutoVentive / Precision Vehicle Logistics team had a promising run in Bristol, but never got the chance to see it through. Reif qualified 24th, but found his footing early and began to charge forward. Towards the conclusion of stage two, however, Reif was taken out in a crash after another competitor made contact with him entering turn three. His night ended early with a disappointing 34th-place finish.
- Tyler Reif's Post-Race Thoughts: On the incident which took him out of the race.
“I just watched the replay, and it kind of looked like it was a racing incident there. It’s unfortunate; Niece Motorsports brought us a pretty great piece for tonight in my first truck race here at Bristol Motor Speedway. I think we brought okay speed, and it was my first truck race that I was able to get a full practice. I was just still trying to learn all the aspects of the dirty air and stuff, and we made some ground there after starting 24th. I wish we could have run out all the laps, but that’s racing, so we’ll just get ready and hopefully be better at Watkins Glen.”
