- Key Takeaway: Tyler Reif and the DQS Solutions & Staffing team faced a challenging night in Phoenix. Reif, who returned to the site of his NCTS debut, rolled off the starting grid in 30th-place. The No. 42 struggled to make headway as Reif wrestled the balance on his truck in the first two runs of the night and made slight contact with the outside wall. After making several adjustments on pit road, the team was able to pick up a handful of positions in the final stage. Reif finished the race in 27th-place.
- Tyler Reif’s Post-Race Thoughts:
“That was a tough race for us tonight. I’m not really sure what our biggest issue was - maybe it was downforce or drag, but really I don’t know. I told Landon (Polinski) after the race that I was kind of lost a little bit because this was the first time I’ve raced here and didn’t know what to tell my crew chief. I had really high hopes coming back here because we qualified and finished inside the top-10 in my debut last year and I feel like Phoenix has always been a good track for me. We will debrief when we get home and go from there, but I know my No. 42 guys will work hard to make sure our next race together goes better for us.”
