Following a four tire stop at the stage break, Thompson restarted outside the top-20 and made his way up to 12th by lap 45. On the final restart of stage two, Thompson restarted eighth and picked up his first-career stage points with a seventh-place finish in stage two. Shortly after the final stage was underway, Thompson got loose in turn three and spun up into the outside wall, ultimately ending his day and resulting in a 34th-place finish. Thompson on his run at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “It was a bittersweet day for our No. 40 Worldwide Express team. We ran up front and had a great handling truck capable of running up front. It was really unfortunate to have our day end early after showing so much speed from the start, but I’m really happy with how we ran and excited to bring that same pace to Circuit of the Americas next weekend.” About Niece Motorsports:Niece Motorsports is owned by United States Marine Corps Veteran Al Niece.
