- Key Takeaway: Matt Gould didn’t have the Truck Series debut that he was anticipating, but the 18-year-old checked off the box of completing the race. Gould started 31st in Sunday’s LiUNA! 175 and began to maneuver his way into the top-25 before issues plagued his No. 44 Chevrolet. Gould finished 26th in stage one but dropped to 30th in stage two as the crew tried to fix the issues. He lost six laps on pit road and brought his No. 44 Chevrolet home in 33rd.
- Matt Gould's Post-Race Thoughts:
“ I had a really fast truck today; I think we drove up to 23rd or so in the first 20 laps. But in the last 20 laps in the first stage, we just continually lost power out of nowhere. We were able to hang in there and pass a couple of the slower trucks, but without the power, we just had no chance. I’m thankful to have been given this opportunity by Al Niece, Cody Efaw, Niece Equipment, and the whole team at Niece Motorsports. Hopefully, I’ll get another chance to go out there and give these guys the run they deserve.”
