Finishing 15th in stage one and 13th in stage two, the Masked Owl Technologies Chevrolet came to life once in cleaner air up front. Currey worked with teammates, Kaden Honeycutt and Matt Mills, to devise a plan to lead the pack. In the closing laps, Currey led the charge on the inside lane to come home with an impressive fourth-place finish.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
Interviewer: Bayley Currey finishing in fourth, what a day. How would you describe your effort?
“Just scratched and clawed. We had a problem in qualifying yesterday and had to start way back in the back. This Niece Motorsports No. 44 group just never gives up. We stayed with it all day and picked them off as we could, didn’t get in too big of a rush. I wanted to go for the win there at the end and was thinking of taking Kyle (Busch) three (wide) and going bottom, but at the same time, I was thinking that was going to slow us all down and a Chevrolet won’t win. I just stayed behind Kyle and was hoping we could maybe have him slip out of (turn) four, and he didn’t. I’ll take fourth or third - I think I got the No. 18 (Tyler Ankrum) at the line, but that’s just me. But yeah, we’ll take it. Huge thank you to everyone at Masked Owl Technologies, DQS, AutoVentive, Precision, and everyone that helps support our team.”
