– With the fourth-place finish at ISM Raceway, Nemechek scored the teams sixth top-five of the 2019 season. Nemechek was also the highest finishing rookie after his result.
“We had a pretty good weekend at ISM Raceway. I fired off decent and ended the first stage ninth and then finished the second stage eighth and then there at the end finished fourth. We made the right adjustments all day and I’m glad it went green because we had a long-run car, for sure, and if there would have been a caution I don’t think we would have ended up fourth. Solid day overall and I can’t thank everyone at GMS Racing and Maury Gallagher for giving me this opportunity. I’m looking to close out the end of the year strong.”
