- Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 41 team fired off well after securing a top-10 starting position in Charlotte. Currey would hold his track position through stage one where he finished 11th, but dropped to 17th in stage two following an unscheduled return to pit road. In the final stage, Currey sustained heavy damage when a competitor blew a tire directly in front of the No. 41 Foundation for Pops Chevrolet, hindering his competitiveness. He finished the race in the 26th position.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
“We had a really, really good Foundation for Pops / DQS Chevy Silverado tonight. Some restarts didn’t go our way which set us behind, and had some issues on pit road which put us in a bad spot. The No. 88 blew a right front tire right in front of us - not his doing, not his fault, but we were just in the wrong place in the wrong time. Ended up hitting the back of him, tore the nose off, got in the wall, and knocked the toe off. Really tough night for us; we had a top-10 truck no doubt, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. We’ll move onto Gateway.”
