LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Race Recap: Martinsville Speedway II

Carson Hocevar, No. 42 Sunseeker Resort Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 32ND
FINISH: 31ST
OWNERS POINTS: 32ND

Carson Hocevar’s Post-Race Thoughts: “Just a tough day. We were about one adjustment or two behind all day and couldn’t really catch up. Once we got trapped a couple of laps down it’s nearly impossible to regroup and get a reset, and we just never got that today. So it was a tough one, every now and again you’ll just miss it and today it felt like we missed it. Thanks to Sunseeker Resort, Maury (Gallagher) and Jimmie (Johnson) for allowing me to drive their car. We’ll move onto Phoenix!”

Erik Jones, No. 43 Allegiant Allways Rewards Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 29TH
FINISH: 21ST
DRIVER POINTS: 27TH

Erik Jones’ Post-Race Thoughts: “It was an up-and-down day for the No. 43 Allegiant Allways Rewards Chevy team. It was probably going to turn out a little bit better than we deserved, but strategy just didn’t quite play out. Martinsville (Speedway) has been tough for us. Hopefully we learned a little bit for next year – come back, take something we learned and just make it that much better.”
