John Hunter Nemechek, No. 42 Sunseeker Resort Team
START: 24TH
FINISH: 32ND
OWNERS POINTS:
John Hunter Nemechek’s Post-Race Thoughts: “Frustrating day for us at Homestead-Miami. Just had a few mistakes at the start of the race that set us back and really we weren’t ever able to recover from it because of the lack of cautions. Then the deal on the backstretch ended our day. It’s tough because I felt like we had pretty decent speed, but never truly had an opportunity to show for it. I’m glad that we hopefully got the kinks knocked out before we start the season off next year, and I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to step in early this weekend. We’re going to fight hard for the final two races of the season in the Xfinity Series, and get straight to work in the off season with the No. 42 team at LEGACY M.C.”
Erik Jones, No. 43 Allegiant Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
START: 19TH
FINISH: 14TH
DRIVER POINTS:
Erik Jones’ Post-Race Thoughts: “Just an OK, up-and-down, day for the No. 43 Allegiant Chevy team. We had some good runs and some bad runs, but overall, ended up with a decent day. We needed that. We’ve had some bad finishes; some weren’t necessarily all our fault; we were just in a bad spot. It’s nice to come home with an OK day, and hopefully go to Martinsville (Speedway) and get it a little bit better.”
