| No. 42 J.F. Electric / Fowler Companies Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Matt Mills | Crew Chief: Mike Shiplett |
| Start: 30th Stage 1: 2nd Stage 2: 22ndFinish: 20th Driver Points: 19th Owner Points: 22nd |
| – Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team had their hopes of a top-10 finish dashed in a late-race incident at Texas Motor Speedway. After starting deep in 30th once qualifying was rained out, a brilliant strategy call resulted in Mills capturing a second-place finish in stage one. From there, Mills hovered around the top-15 for the remainder of the night before clipping the grass on the front stretch. The damage proved to be too severe to continue the race, resulting in a 20th-place finish. – Matt Mills’ Post-Race Thoughts: “We had to start at the tail to start our weekend, but it felt like we were able to fire off and thought we had a pretty good truck. Mike (Shiplett) made a good strategy call there to come in at the competition caution so we could stay out at the end of the stage, which worked out to where we could get some much-needed points. Throughout the race, we were just kind of playing the strategy game. It was all about track position tonight and that was pretty hit or miss for us. We were starting to get back up there at the end and it was a real unfortunate end to our night. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and look forward to going back to Kansas next week.” About J.F.

| No. 44 TXAPA / MG Machinery Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Bayley Currey | Crew Chief: Wally Rogers |
| Start: 17th Stage 1: 16th Stage 2: 15thFinish: 8th Driver Points: 21st Owner Points: 15th |
| – Key Takeaway: After having two races feel like they got away, Bayley Currey and the No. 44 team were able to break through for a hard-earned top-10 finish at Texas Motor Speedway. Currey started the race mid-pack and struggled to pass other trucks in dirty air, but kept calm and stayed calculated throughout the night. With the help of some great pit stops and strong maneuvers on restarts, Currey drove to an eighth-place finish. – Bayley Currey’s Post-Race Thoughts: “That was what we on the No. 44 team call a “blue collar night”. We struggled a little bit, man. I felt like we just couldn’t get a handle on it in dirty air, and trying to pass trucks tonight was really tough. But, we hung in there and did what we needed to do in order to try to stay out of trouble. I got in a little trouble, not too bad, just trying to stay out in the most trouble and just ended up there at the end. I kind of knew that’s all we needed to do. I told myself in the beginning, ‘Hey, we’re not just going to drive through the field here, just got to keep the fenders on it and go from there’. We did that, and the guys worked hard and made some adjustments, and we got it better. It still was so hard to pass here. It was a very one-lane racetrack tonight. These guys in the MG Machinery / Texas Asphalt Paving Association No. 44 did a really good job. I mean, they stayed in it all night. Pit crew stayed in it all night, gave me a good green flag stop, even on the stops when we made adjustments, they got me out pretty dang quick. I’m proud of the team, and we’ll go to Kansas.”About TXAPA: Texas Asphalt Pavement Association is a full-service Association for the asphalt industry.

| No. 45 DQS Solutions & Staffing / Precision Vehicle Logistics Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Kaden Honeycutt | Crew Chief: Phil Gould |
| Start: 6th Stage 1: 32nd Stage 2: 32ndFinish: 32nd Driver Points: 9th Owner Points: 10th |
| – Key Takeaway: Local favorite Kaden Honeycutt was tracking for a great Texas debut in front of the hometown crowd, but unfortunately was wiped out in an early crash. Honeycutt started in sixth-place and was running up front when a truck hit the grass in front of him and slammed into the nose of the No. 45 Chevrolet. With nowhere to go, Honeycutt hit the turn one wall at a high rate of speed, and was done for the night. He was credited with a 32nd-place finish. – Kaden Honeycutt’s Post-Race Thoughts: “I can’t believe that happened, man. We had such a fast DQS Solutions & Staffing / Precision Vehicle Logistics Silverado tonight. It’s just such a shame that we weren’t able to really show it. I saw the truck in front hit the grass, but I couldn’t go anywhere to avoid him. Just so unfortunate to have our day ruined by something that was completely out of our control. I hate it for all the guys on our team, but know we’re going to show up next week with another fast truck.
