Petty GMS Race Recap: Richmond Raceway II

Ty Dillon, No. 42 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 22nd

FINISH: 17th

POINTS: 30th

Ty Dillon Post-Race Thoughts: “Certainly happy with our speed today in our Allegiant Camaro. That was a major step in the right direction and overall competitiveness. We had some messy things that we need to clean up, but it’s good to be disappointed with 17th after the penalty and having a messy day. I think our momentum is heading in the right direction and we are hitting our stride here. We have 11 races to go to really perform well.”

Erik Jones, No. 43 FOCUSfactor Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 9th

FINISH: 35th

POINTS: 18th

Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “We were just in the wrong spot and got caught in someone else’s mess. We made contact and killed the right front. We struggled all day with our FOCUSfactor Chevy, just couldn’t find the balance we needed to run up front. Not our day. We’ll load up and get ready for Watkins Glen next weekend.”
