Petty GMS Race Recap: New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Ty Dillon, No. 42 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 35th
FINISH: 33rd
POINTS: 28th

Ty Dillon Post-Race Thoughts: “Tough ending to the week that’s for sure. I haven’t been able to see the replay yet to give an accurate description of what happened there with the 31 car, but no matter what, you never want to be out of the race on lap six. This 42 team and I aren’t going to give up on each other. We still have almost half the season left and we are going to give it everything we’ve got. Time to shift our attention to Pocono.”

Erik Jones, No. 43 FOCUSfactor Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 22nd
FINISH: 19th
POINTS: 18th

Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “We were just off a bit today. We were plowing early, made adjustments throughout the race to try to make our FOCUSfactor Chevy better and then we were too loose at the end. We’re still learning with these cars – it’s hard to predict how it will react sometimes and we just have to keep building our notebooks and build on each week. We’ll keep learning and refocus for next week at Pocono.”
