LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Race Recap: Atlanta 2

Noah Gragson, No. 42 Sunseeker Resort Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 31ST

FINISH: 33RD

POINTS:33RD

Noah Gragson Post-Race Thoughts: “We started out really tight and Luke Lambert and the No. 42 Sunseeker Resort team really took some pretty big swings at the handling. We were making our way up there and were top-10 at one point. The car just came out from underneath me in Turn 3 and it bent the toe pretty good. The guys did a great job by getting it to where I could drive it and make speed, but our day was done after that. We could have probably picked up a few more spots if the race went the duration because it was getting wild.”

Erik Jones, No. 43 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 25TH

FINISH: 11TH

POINTS: 28TH

Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “It was an up and down day for our Allegiant Chevy; we could have been a bit farther up with some of the stuff that we did, but for the most part we made our bed set up wise last night. So, it was a good day. The car is getting faster each week, and hopefully we keep going that way. I think today was overall a good day.”
