Bayley Currey - Weather Guard Truck Race Recap
Event: Weather Guard Truck Race (250 laps / 133.25 miles)
Round: 6 of 25 (Regular Season)
Track: Bristol Motor Speedway
Location: Bristol, Tennessee
Date & Time: Friday, April 11 | 7:30 PM ET
No. 44 Masked Owl Technologies / DQS Solutions & Staffing Chevrolet Silverado RST
Driver: Bayley Currey | Crew Chief: Wally Rogers
Start: 20th | Stage 1: 14th | Stage 2: 1st
Finish: 23rd | Driver Points: 21st | Owner Points: 15th
- Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 44 team were on top of their game in Bristol. Currey's Silverado had pace in it throughout the 200-lap event, and a great strategy call helped the driver earn his first-career stage win in stage two. In total, Currey led for 14 laps, and ran inside the top-five for the majority of the race. On a late restart however, the truck suffered a catastrophic driveshaft failure which took him out of the race in 23rd. The results might not show it, but Currey was a sure contender for the victory.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
Interviewer: Obviously not the finish you wanted, but a great run driving up through the field. What are your overall takeaways from tonight?
“Niece Motorsports brought me a great Masked Owl / DQS Solutions & Staffing / Precision Vehicle Logistics Chevrolet Silverado. We’ve had some good runs this year, we’ve had some decent finishes, and we’ve had some that just haven’t gone our way. This one stings a little bit. I couldn’t be happier; we got our first stage win and went out there and led laps, and felt like we had a really fast truck that could win the race. To have the driveshaft break ultimately sucks, but I’m really proud of this group. Proud of what they’ve done. We struggled a lot last year and over the offseason we felt like we really came together, and it’s showing.”
