Race Recap: Friday night was an off-night for the No. 41 Worldwide Express Silverado with Ross Chastain. Although he was the fastest of the Niece Motorsports trucks in qualifying, Chastain ran steady inside the top-15 for most of the night.

At times, Chastain was able to ride in the top-ten but was never able to stay there for long periods of time. The watermelon farmer finished 15th and 12th in Stage One and Stage Two, respectively.

The 147-lap race on Friday night was tame for the most-part. But, the final stage is where the action picked up and Chastain was able to avoid carnage to keep his machine in one piece. In the end, Chastain would finish 13th and advance the No. 41 to 14th in the owner’s championship standings.
