Round: 13 of 25 (Regular Season)
Track: Michigan International Speedway
Location: Brooklyn, Michigan
Date & Time: Saturday, June 7 | 12:00 PM ET
No. 42 J.F. Electric Chevrolet Silverado RST
Driver: Matt Mills | Crew Chief: Mike Shiplett
Start: 22nd | Stage 1: 23rd | Stage 2: 23rd
Finish: 23rd | Driver Points: 19th | Owner Points: 22nd
- Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team played the strategy game in Michigan and rebounded nicely before getting swept up in a crash. Mills started the 125-lap race from 22nd and experienced some overheating issues early on. Getting off sequence, the team took advantage of some late-race chaos to enter the top-10. Just as everything was looking up for Mills, however, he became involved in an incident on the backstretch which ended his race. The team was left with a 23rd-place finish in the garage.
- Matt Mills' Post-Race Thoughts:
“Man, such a tough way to finish that one. We had a quick J.F. Electric Chevy today and I honestly thought we were going to come out of there with a really good finish. We had some overheating issues towards the start of the race, but my guys fixed that and kept us out there. Mike (Shiplett) made some good strategy calls to get us some track position. Once I saw everyone wrecking on one of the restarts, I thought, ‘hey, we’re not out of this thing yet’. Some things just didn’t go my way on the next few restarts, and I just got turned there at the end. I felt like there wasn’t much more we could have done. All of our trucks were fast today and I hate that we couldn’t get any results to show for it. Thank you to everyone at J.F. Electric, Utilitra, DQS, and Precision for supporting us. We’ll regroup over the off week and move onto Pocono.”
