| No. 41 Crowe Equipment Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Conner Jones | Crew Chief: Mike Shiplett |
| Start: 27th Stage 1: 23rd Stage 2: 20thFinish: 18th Driver Points: 39th Owner Points: 39th |
| – Key Takeaway: Conner Jones and the No. 41 team had to overcome a few early setbacks throughout the event at Bristol Motor Speedway. During practice, Jones spun and flat-spotted his tires, cutting his session short. After starting 27th, the team incurred a pit road penalty on the first stop of the night which resulted in a loss of track position. As the race went on, however, Jones and the Crowe Equipment crew began to make up some lost ground and eventually finished in 18th-place. – Conner Jones’ Post-Race Thoughts: “My Crowe Equipment Chevy Silverado felt like it was better than where we ended up tonight. We had some mishaps in practice which really hurt us since we didn’t get the full session to work on our truck because I spun. We just started off too loose, and I guess I just overstepped its breaking point and spun out. That kind of hurt us in qualifying too, and we also started off too free in the race and trended a little too tight at the end. I had to run the top too much, and it took me a while to figure that out since we don’t really run up there too often. I had fun though, and am thankful to have my team behind me after tonight.”About Crowe Equipment: Based in Jasonville, Indiana, Crowe Equipment, Inc. is a family-owned heavy equipment dealer which specializes in new, used & rebuilt parts.

| No. 42 J.F. Electric Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Matt Mills | Crew Chief: Landon Polinski |
| Start: 24th Stage 1: 19th Stage 2: 24thFinish: 16th Driver Points: 18th Owner Points: 21st |
| – Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team advanced through the field to a respectable finish in Bristol. Mills fought a tight-handling truck early on in the race and fell back down the running order through the midway point. Once the final stage began, Mills and team dug deep and made some adjustments which found some speed. Mills took the checkered flag in 16th, which marked his best finish at the high-banked short track. – Matt Mills’ Post-Race Thoughts: “We kind of started off behind tonight, but it felt like the truck was going to be alright. We were making good progress at the beginning of the race, but in stage two, I don’t know what happened. My guys kept making adjustments trying to free our truck up, but it felt like it made it get tighter, which made the day even harder. We were playing catch up in stage three and started to come back through the field, but just ran out of time. Thank you to my crew for fighting and to everyone who supports us.”About J.F.

| No. 45 Sparco Chevrolet Silverado RST Driver: Bayley Currey | Crew Chief: Phil Gould |
| Start: 13th Stage 1: 10th Stage 2: 11thFinish: 19th Driver Points: 23rd Owner Points: 11th |
| – Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 45 team were well on their way to a top-10 finish in Bristol before getting turned on the final lap of the race. Currey showed speed early on in practice, and qualified in the 13th position. The No. 45 team earned a stage point in stage one, and made track position gains on pit road throughout the night. Currey drove up to ninth in the final run to the checkers, but unfortunately was not able to earn the finish he deserved. He was credited with a 19th-place finish after limping across the line. – Bayley Currey’s Post-Race Thoughts: Interviewer: Bayley, what happened on the last lap there? “I got turned around. We were racing hard there at the end, and guys were running the top while I was running the bottom. It seemed like the No. 77 (Corey LaJoie) got a run off the top, and I don’t know if he was trying to shoot low or not, but he ran right in the back of me in the middle of the back straightaway and got me out of control. He shot to the bottom, but I was out of control because he hit me in the middle of the straightaway. And then, he just turned me in the middle of turn three. It is what it is. We talked afterwards and he apologized I guess. But it sucks because it doesn’t change anything. I’m really happy with the effort on this No. 45 team. Our Sparco Chevrolet had some speed tonight. It was really hard to pass with the PJ1 getting laid down before us, but as always a huge thanks to them and everyone that helps us go around.”About Sparco: Sparco designs, manufactures, and sells racing safety apparel, karting safety apparel, vehicle racing seats / accessories, and gaming products.
