• In the second stage, neither of the two Trackhouse teammates could make much progress with Suárez finishing14th.
• Suárez raced in the top-10 much of the race.
• The next race is 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 19 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing:

“That was a difficult finish for us. I thought we had a car capable of a top-10. We worked on the handling all race long and showed some good speed today, but those speeding penalties just hurt our day. We learned a lot for when we come back for the November (Championship) race.”
