Mike Rockenfeller, No. 42 Sunseeker Resort Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
START: 21ST
FINISH: 19TH
OWNERS POINTS: 33RD
Mike Rockenfeller Post-Race Thoughts: “Starting from 21st and only finishing 19th is for sure not what we were hoping for or what I was hoping for. On the first pitstop, we had an issue on the left side with the jack and we lost a ton of time there. That probably cost us eight spots, but that’s how it is. The car was tricky to drive but for sure we learned a lot again in the race. The last stint, I would say, after the restart we were quite OK. At the very end, I was just hanging on. Getting three positions on the last lap was nice and made a top-20 finish, which at the end is still my best result. Thanks to the team and everybody for letting me hop in the seat and try to do my best. I hope to come back.”
Erik Jones, No. 43 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
START: 34TH
FINISH: 29TH
POINTS: 28TH
Erik Jones Post-Race Thoughts: “Not a very good day. We started in the back, had an issue and went to the back again. That’s pretty much all we had. It went all-green. I hope next week at Daytona will be better. It’s the last shot to win and try to get in the playoffs. So we’ll try to go do that.”
