- Key Takeaway: In his first Truck Series short track race at IRP, Conor Daly had to overcome issues early on. In practice, a rear gear seal issue prevented him from making a qualifying attempt, which forced him to start shotgun on the field. Daly continued to learn throughout the night, and climbed up into the top-25 before debris cut his right front tire. After the issue, his truck would go a couple of laps down, resulting in a 29th-place finish.
- Conor Daly' Post-Race Thoughts:
“Honestly, working with Stevie Reeves, my spotter, was super helpful today. I think the first stint was mainly just for me to learn a little bit. Then we got back on the lead lap, and once we took the green again, we were ripping. We were passing a ton of trucks out there and were really fast, and it felt so good. I followed Bayley (Currey), my teammate, there, and he was really cool to follow through when we ripped the top side. That was awesome, but then obviously when our right front went down, that basically ended our race. When we put on the right sides after the flat, it was a really fun next stint because we started to pass those trucks again. But, we were just never really as competitive as where we were before that. I think it was really fun. Everything has to be perfect when you want to go out there and put together a good finish, but I thought it was a great learning experience for me tonight.”
