- Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 44 team brought a truck that had raw speed on both the short and long runs, and had high hopes for their first race at Rockingham. Currey qualified sixth, but was unfortunately taken out of contention with an early wreck on lap two. The Masked Owl Technologies pit crew worked hard at repairing the damage to keep Currey in the race, but lost several laps in the process. They were credited with a 20th-place finish through attrition.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
Interviewer: You came home 20th, but started sixth only for that incident in the first couple laps. What did you see, and how bad was the damage?
“I actually just saw the replay and I don’t know, it seems like the No. 81 (Connor Mosack) got loose under me. I felt like I left him sufficient room, and just got turned. I hit the fence there and really killed the right-rear quarter of the truck which is where all your speed is made. It sucks that it turned out that way; I think we had a really fast truck even with the damage after the guys worked on it. I felt like we were still contending and had decent speed, but were a lot of laps down. It is what it is. We can keep digging. This No. 44 group keeps going and they keep bringing me fast Masked Owl Technologies / DQS Solutions & Staffing Chevys, and we’ll go onto Texas.”
