Following a 15th place finish at the end of stage one, Currey made up three spots to secure 12th in stage two. Towards the end of the race, it appeared that he was on his way to the first top-10 finish of the season, but ultimately had to settle for 11th.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
“This was a step in the right direction for our No. 41 team. We had speed and we drove up into the top-10 late. Our pit crew was on it tonight, we always made some good adjustments to get me better. I really wanted to get that first top-10 tonight for the AutoVentive / Precision Chevy Silverado, but it just wasn’t meant to be. We just got too tight there at the end, got caught up in some lapped traffic, and lost it right at the end. I was trying everything I could to make my way around but just couldn’t make it work. It is what it is, I’m happy with the gains we made and the speed we had, and bringing back a clean truck is good for this five-race stretch. Moving onto Darlington.”
