Our Motorsports teammates Brett Moffitt and Ty Dillion fought a hard fight Saturday May 29th at Charlotte Motorspeedway. The day started early Saturday morning with qualifying. Moffitt and the No. 02 Good Sams Camaro qualified 15th and the No. 23 Gun Broker Camaro of Dillion 10th.

In the opening laps of the 200-mile race, Moffitt settled into 14th while Dillion battled for 16th. During lap twenty the Our Motorsports teammates were running 14th (Moffitt) and fifteenth (Dillion). The remainder of the first stage resulted in Dillion and Moffitt losing track positions and fighting hard to stay on the lead lap until adjustments could be made. At the end of stage one, Dillion was 19th and Moffitt 23rd. During the scheduled pit stops, both the No. 02 and 23 were able to gain track positions as the pit crew executed wonderfully.

Moffitt took the green in 15th with Dillion not far behind in 18th. The Our Motorsports teammates held tight to their track positions during the first half of stage 2. At the end of the stage break, Dillion was in 17th position. Moffitt was not far behind in 21st.

At the start of stage three after pitting for adjustments, Dillion started 25th and Moffitt 29th. After a hard battle with seventy laps to go, Moffitt was racing right outside of the top ten position at 11th. Dillion was running in the 18th position at that time. Ten laps later Dillion had battled his way to 16th and Moffit held strong at 13th. However, the good run from Moffitt ended in heartbreak when he was involved in a late race caution that resulted in damage to the No.02. After receiving the necessary repairs, Moffitt found himself two laps down in 28th position. The No. 23 team of Dillon found triumph in this caution and made their way to 13th. Dillion continued to battle through the field. When the black and white checkered flew, Dillion crossed the finish line in the 7th position, showing solid speed. Moffitt made his way to the 25th position when he crossed the finish line.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to action next weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The B&L Transport 170 is set for Saturday, June 6 at 1 p.m. ET on FS1.

Not bad for a part-timer.

Ty Gibbs won his second NASCAR Xfinity Series victory in the sixth start of his career, recovering from a spin off Turn 4 to take the checkered flag in Saturday’s Alsco Uniforms 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs led the final 20 laps, surviving two eventful restarts during that stretch to beat series leader Austin Cindric to the finish line by .437 seconds.

Gibbs, who won’t turn 19 until Oct. 4, is the youngest winner at Charlotte in any of NASCAR’s top three national divisions.

The race came down to a battle for the lead between Gibbs and Chase Briscoe, who led 30 laps before spinning off Turn 2 as Gibbs closed near his bumper and packed the air on the left rear of Briscoe’s Ford.

Gibbs apologized immediately on his team radio for putting Briscoe in a precarious position.

“I wasn’t trying to wreck him—I was trying to race him,” Gibbs said. “That was never my intention.”

After taking the checkered flag and climbing from his car, Gibbs was still apologizing, even though there was clearly no contact between his No. 54 Toyota and Briscoes’s No. 99 Ford.

“First off, I just want to say sorry to the 99 and Chase and his crew,” said Gibbs, who spun through the artificial turf in the tri-oval at the end of Stage 2. “I didn’t hit him, but I definitely helped him out with him getting loose there, and it was not my intention. Already wrecked myself so, I just want to say sorry to them more importantly than this entire win.’

But the victory nevertheless assuaged whatever guilty feelings he might have had.

“It’s just awesome,” Gibbs said. “I’ll take it. This is a good day—we got one more (race) to go. So, I just want to say thank you all the fans out there and hell, yeah!”

Briscoe conceded that his spin was simply the product of hard racing between two quality cars. Gibbs had closed on Biscoe in traffic and had actually led the previous lap as the drivers raced side-by-side across the start/finish line.

“It felt like there at the end we just made the wrong adjustment, and I was too tight,” Briscoe said. “But truthfully, Ty was probably going to get me either way…. After leading that many laps, it’s frustrating for sure.”

Seeking his first victory in his 99th start in the series, Daniel Hemric swept the first two stages, but a pit road mistake cost him dearly. During a pit stop under the sixth caution on Lap 121 of 200, Hemric was blocked by the Toyota of Chad Finchum and had to back up to escape his pit stall.

That was the least of Hemric’s problems. A tire rolled away from the car and impeded the pit stop of Landon Cassill, who was pitting behind Hemric. The resulting penalty sent Hemric to the back of the field, and though he recovered to run as high as seventh, he couldn’t avoid a seven-car wreck after a restart on Lap 187.

That accident knocked Hemric and Noah Gragson out of the race. After the subsequent restart on Lap 194, Gibbs pulled away from Cindric and sealed the victory, lowering his average finish in his six starts to 5.17—from an average starting position of 18.2.

Harrison Burton finished third, followed by Brandon Brown, whose crew chief, Doug Randolph, made the call of the race by saving a set of tires for the final 20 laps. Fighting for a Playoff spot and currently 13th in the series standings, Brown was outside the top 15 for the penultimate restart on Lap 187 but took advantage of his fresh rubber to charge to fourth.

Tyler Reddick came home fifth, followed by Briscoe, Ty Dillon, Brandon Jones, Jeb Burton and Jeremy Clements.

Cindric, the reigning series champion, now leads the standings by 84 points over second-place Harrison Burton.

Notes:

• Consistency paved the way for Austin Cindric’s second-place finish Saturday afternoon at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The driver of the Carquest Ford Mustang racked up his ninth top-five finish in 12 starts this season. He scored his best finish in four NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at the 1.5-mile oval. Cindric remains the leader in the series driver points standings, holding an 84-point edge over second-place Harrison Burton.
• The reigning NASCAR Xfinity Series champion qualified fourth on Saturday morning and once the race started, he quickly moved his Carquest Mustang to second position during Stage 1. Throughout the run Cindric’s Carquest Mustang became a little tight in Turns 3 and 4. Cindric was able to maintain position and score a fourth-place finish when the opening segment ended on lap 45. During the caution crew chief Brian Wilson called for a trackbar adjustment plus four tires and fuel and restarted fourth when the race went green on lap 52.
• Stage 2 ran caution free and during the long run Cindric said his balance of the No. 22 Mustang was steadily building to the tight side once more. The fourth caution on lap 92 ended the stage with Cindric scored in fourth position. Wilson once again called his driver to pit road during the stage caution for four tires, fuel, and adjustments to loosen up the balance. Solid work by the Carquest team gave Cindric third position for the restart on lap 97.
• The Mooresville N.C., native remained inside the top-five during the first run of the final stage as the handling conditions improved. During the seventh caution on lap 145 Wilson once again called his driver to pit road, this time for an air pressure adjustment, four tires and fuel. Two cautions over the final 17 laps gave Cindric an opportunity to win the race. He restarted second on lap 193, seven laps from the finish, but couldn’t track down leader (and eventual winner) Ty Gibbs during the final sprint to the finish and scoring a second-place finish.
• The NASCAR Xfinity Series is back in action at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Saturday, June 5th, for the B&L Transport 170. Live coverage will begin at 5:30 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.

Quote: “We really picked residency in fourth position for much of the day, so, honestly, second is not bad. You obviously want to win the race and we put ourselves in position to have a shot and some days that’s all you can ask for. I’m happy to get the Carquest Ford Mustang up with a chance. We were carrying 30 names of fallen heroes from the Carquest family on the back of our car, so happy to represent them well today and move on to next week.”

Ford Finishing Results:
2nd — Austin Cindric
6th — Chase Briscoe
12th — Riley Herbst
31st — Ryan Sieg

AUSTIN CINDRIC, No. 22 CarQuest Auto Parts Ford Mustang — “We really picked residency in P4 for much of the day, so, honestly, all in all P2 is not bad. You obviously want to win the race and we put ourselves in position to have a shot and some days that’s all you can ask for. I’m happy to get the CarQuest Ford Mustang up with a chance. We were carrying 30 names of fallen heroes from the CarQuest family on the back of our car, so happy to represent them well today and move on to next week. One for the notebook.”

HOW MUCH DID THE TRACK CHANGE? “A little and none. It was definitely a challenge and I thought I figured things out, but even when you did it was hard to gauge what lane was gonna launch and what lane wasn’t gonna launch and, for me, I was willing to go for broke as far as what lane was gonna give me a chance to win the race and block the dirty air out. I didn’t think we were the best car by any means, but we gave ourselves a chance.”

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 99 Production Alliance Group Ford Mustang — WHAT WAS YOUR VIEW OF THE SITUATION WITH TY GIBBS? “That last run we just weren’t as good. We were really good the two previous runs and we tightened up and the track tightened up as well and I was just struggling to even maintain my lead. I knew about lap 10 of that run I was gonna be in trouble just because I was already building tight. Ty was gonna get me, I think, either way. It’s unfortunate. I don’t know if he got into me or not, I haven’t seen it yet, but unfortunate that we ended up running sixth instead of second. I’m thankful for the opportunity as always. It’s always fun to come back in the XFINITY Series. It was cool to have Production Alliance Group back on the car and Tex-a-Con and all the people that allowed me to do this race. I wish we obviously could have got in victory lane. It’s frustrating to lead that many laps and come away sixth, but that’s part of it. He’s going for a win. I’m going for a win and there’s gonna be contact in close racing. I can’t complain either way.”

RILEY HERBST, No. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang — “That was probably the difference at the end for a good finish. We just somehow got the right-front cut down, but, overall, it was a pretty big learning day. We led some laps, qualified on the pole, but just struggled in traffic and fought balance.”

DO YOU FEEL THIS WEEKEND WAS A STEP FORWARD? “I’d like to think so. I wish we could have been more competitive in the stage ends and things like that, but, overall, I think we’re making steps in the right direction.”

RYAN SIEG, No. 39 CMR Construction and Roofing/A-Game Ford Mustang — “We were just trying to do something different, trying to get our CMR Ford in victory lane. That’s all we’re trying to focus on and just lost it on our own. I was just trying to go as easy as I could because I knew we were gonna be on edge with being full of fuel and on old tires. We were just trying to survive and hopefully get a caution with 15 or 20 to go and it didn’t work out.”

AUSTIN CINDRIC POST-RACE PRESS CONFERENCE

CAN YOU TAKE US THROUGH YOUR RACE? “Talking to everyone it sounds like we were the most boring race car on the racetrack. We took up residency with P4 throughout the entire race. If that meant I had a good restart, or if that meant I had a bad restart. If that meant I had a good pit stop or a bad pit stop, we always seemed to be fourth. I don’t feel like we were good enough to really make moves to get to the front, but we were good enough to maintain where we were, so definitely some more for us to gain, but, overall, really well executed day. I can’t really complain. This track has really been a thorn in my side a lot of my career, so kind of happy just to check that off. I still think we need some more speed to be where the 99 and some of the JGR cars were today, so definitely some data points for us.”

HOW BIG IS IT TO HAVE NINE TOP-5 FINISHES IN 12 STARTS? “It’s great because it’s consistency. It shows that we can do it every weekend and that regular season points, I said it last year and I’ll say it again this year is very, very — I mean, it’s three wins. Do you know how hard it is to win three races? It’s really hard. That’s all I’ve won this year. That’s a lot, so that’s partially if not the reason why I made it to Phoenix in the first place, so I’m definitely very focused on being consistent every week and trying not to let trying to win races cloud my judgment because it has in the past, and I think it has for others as well and we’re obviously doing a really great job and I think we need to get better on these mile-and-a-halves. We’ve had some struggled on pit road. Today was a positive day, so just chipping away at the little things.”

DO YOU THINK THE REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP IS OVERLOOKED IN NASCAR? “It is the most important thing to the people that get it. To the outside world it definitely doesn’t seem as celebrated is maybe the right way to put it, but the importance of it is massive, so I don’t think that can be understated, at least from the person who gets it.”

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU’RE GOING TO DO TOMORROW TO SOAK IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE INDY 500? “Yeah, I’m really excited. I’ve got a 7 o’clock flight, so I’m really happy that there was no weather today, so I can go and do that. I’ve got my bags packed. They’re in my car. I’m ready to go, ready to get out of here and go enjoy it. I was so pumped watching Carb Day practice. It seems like the lower temperatures with their current aero package, they seemed to race really well. It seems like our guys had a lot of speed, so excited to cheer those guys on and, like I said, and really embrace that. That race has meant a lot to my family and it’s kind of been a pillar, at least for the four of us — me, myself, my brother, my dad and my mom. It’s what we do every year. That’s a guarantee, so I’ve been joking about it. I said it last week. I expect this to be my last time on the grid on race day and the next time will either be when I’m out of a job or in the race, so I’m looking forward to it and hope we can do well.”

MID-OHIO, DO YOU GO IN THERE THINKING YOU SHOULD BE THE FAVORITE? “Yeah, it’s one of my favorite racetracks. We’ve obviously run really well there in the past. We should probably have two wins and not one, but, overall, it’s somewhere we’ve got a good package and we know we can run well. I think the JGR cars have been really, really strong on road courses and obviously Ty has done a great job, so I think he’ll be a challenge. I’m not taking any guarantees by any means, but it’s definitely a racetrack I feel comfortable at.”

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN FROM TY THIS YEAR? HAS HIS PERFORMANCE SURPRISED YOU? “He’s putting numbers on the board. Obviously, the guys that are driving the same are doing the same, but for him he’s checking all the boxes and that’s all you can ask out of a guy like that. As long as you’re learning from the bad days and making the most of the good ones, I think you saw that today. He made the most out of what I thought was one of the best race cars, so good for him. It’s definitely a challenge. I don’t think it’s a mystery that I struggled when I first came into the series, but I feel like my knowledge base is different. Everyone learns at a different pace and he’s obviously doing exceptionally well.”

TOYOTA QUOTES

TY GIBBS, No. 54 Toyota Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 1st

How did you come back through the field and get back up front to win this race?

“First off, I just want to say sorry to the 99 (Chase Briscoe) and Chase and his crew. I didn’t hit him, but I definitely helped him out with him getting loose there and it was not my intention. Already wrecked myself so, I just want to say sorry to them more importantly than this entire win. It’s just awesome. I’ll take it. This is a good day we got one more to go. So, I just want to say thank you all the fans out there and hell yeah.”

How special is it to win on an oval?

“It’s definitely nice to win on the oval, especially in my hometown. I’m 30 minutes away from here. So, it’s nice to have a win at least once today. You know I can’t think Monster Energy, Joe Gibbs Racing and to all the sponsors out there, there’s a lot of open, real estate so hit me up.”

How does it feel to win in your hometown of Charlotte?

“It feels really good. First off, I want to say sorry to (Chase) Briscoe and the 99 crew. That was not my intention at all to wreck them. I just got on his left rear and didn’t help him out with the air and he kind of hopped the cushion so it didn’t really help that. That was partially my fault and I take that for sure. It’s nice to get another win. I’ll take it and we’ll move on. We’ve got one more to go so stay around fans.”

What was it like coming from the back of the field?

“I was definitely frustrated with myself. I completely wrecked myself, but didn’t really make myself look good today and made some mistakes. Definitely still learning how the air works and I’ll take full responsibility for all the mistakes I made. Overall, we ended up in victory lane. Can’t thank my guys enough and Monster Energy and my family. It’s cool to have them here and we’ve got one more tonight.”

Has this season been more than you expected already?

“It’s definitely been a lot. I’m learning as I go and I’m learning how life works at the same time. Trying to figure myself out, but I really like this racing deal and I want to keep doing it.”

HARRISON BURTON, No. 20 DEX Imaging Toyota Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 6th

How good do you feel about this third-place finish?

“We got a lot better throughout the weekend. In practice we were kind of in the same spot, about ninth. We got our DEX Imaging Supra faster for the race. Gosh, when you’re close to wins and don’t win, it’s so frustrating. I’m just frustrated because I feel like we’ve run pretty well this year and just haven’t had the wins to show for us. I expect to win a lot of races this year and I think we will. It’s frustrating when it doesn’t happen right now. We’ll keep plugging away at it and getting better. I’ll look at the video to see what I could have done different and go from there.”

Ford Performance Notes and Quotes
NASCAR XFINITY Series
Charlotte Motor Speedway Post-Practice Media Availability | Friday, May 28, 2021

Riley Herbst, driver of the No. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, posted the fastest speed in today’s practice at Charlotte Motor Speedway at 178.435 mph. He conducted a Q&A session afterwards and spoke about his day and expectations for tomorrow’s race.

RILEY HERBST, No. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang — HOW WAS PRACTICE? “Hopefully, we didn’t get cancelled out. That was my biggest thing. I’ve been looking forward to this practice since probably Atlanta, just working with a new team and want as much experience with them and Richard as possible and really glad the rain stayed away, and were able to put some quick lap times down and have a good Ford Mustang.”

WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO PICK UP ON TO GET A PLAYOFF SPOT OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS? “I feel like the biggest thing is doing what we’re doing. I knew it was gonna be a challenge this year. I knew that they had fast cars last year, but me and Chase are different race car drivers and we both want a little bit something different in our race cars, and it was gonna take a while to figure out. To be honest, we had better speed than I expected the first few races at the mile-and-a-halves and we just didn’t get the finishes. I feel like that’s why we’re looking out of the playoffs right now, but the biggest thing we can pick up on is just unloading off the truck better. This is huge being able to work on the race car, so Richard and the boys know what I want in the race car and we can move forward to the next mile-and-a-half and racetracks going forward.”

HOW WAS THE TRACTION COMPOUND DURING PRACTICE? “I don’t know. That traction compound, PJ1, I feel like they shouldn’t even put it on the racetrack because it’s just so inconsistent from each time. Last year we had it and that was the place to be. It was like you had super softs on and if you weren’t in it, you were in trouble, but now if you touch it, you’re gonna spin out. I think it adds a cool feature to it, I just wish it was more consistent.”

Brown on Charlotte:

“I’m excited to be racing in NASCAR‘s backyard this weekend at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Unlike last weekend, the weather looks dry and hot, so staying hydrated will definitely be a big key to success on Saturday.

“The Charlotte spring race is always a really special event because it lands on Memorial Day weekend; a time where we get to honor those who have served our country and have paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. You’ll see a lot of patriotism throughout the garage as teams run special paint schemes and colors to show their support for our armed forces and I’m proud to be part of that.

“Aboard our No. 68 Chevrolet Camaro this weekend, fans will see Midwest Moving Company and American Exteriors, two companies that belong to some really good friends of mine. They’re both local to the Charlotte area and I can’t thank each of them enough for coming on board to support our team.

“Midwest Moving Company was originally founded in Fargo, North Dakota, but has recently expanded into the Charlotte (North Carolina) market, where they’ve been quickly growing. Our goal this weekend is to really utilize this partnership to help build their brand awareness in the Charlotte area.

“American Exteriors services both the Charlotte and Raleigh (North Carolina) markets for residential and commercial exterior and window cleaning as well as pressure washing. They made my home look brand new after the spring pollen season and they can do the same for you.

“If you’re in the need for fast and friendly moving or exterior cleaning, I encourage you to reach out to my friends at Midwest Moving Company and American Exteriors.”

Driver Quotes

“With how we were at the other 1.5-mile tracks so far this season, I’m going into this week’s race at Charlotte with some confidence that our Pilot Flying J myRewards Plus Chevrolet will be near the front of the field all day long. We had a good day at COTA, coming from the back, and this whole team is performing better and better each week. It’s time to start pushing for playoff positions, and it’s a home race, so there’s no better time to get it going.” – Michael Annett

“Charlotte is going to be interesting this weekend for sure. We have had some good runs here on the oval the last couple of seasons and I feel really confident we can back that up again. We’ll also have some extra motivation with having Camp4Heroes on board our No. 7 Chevrolet, which is extra special given that this is Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully we can go out there and have a really strong day and be in contention for the win in the end.” – Justin Allgaier

“I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of the No. 8 Tire Pros Chevy this weekend here in Charlotte. We actually get to practice and qualify this weekend, so although it’s a new track to me, I will get to turn some laps before the race. That will be huge. I’ve been going into a majority of these races without track time and having to learn during the actual race, so practice this weekend will be great. I know Taylor (Moyer, crew chief) and the rest of the No. 8 team will unload a fast Chevy this weekend and I am just lucky to be driving it for them.” – Josh Berry

“We’ve had a fast Bass Pro Shops/TrueTimber/Black Rifle Coffee Camaro the last few weeks but things just haven’t gone our way. We’ve had some good runs but ran into problems like last weekend that ended our day early. We have practice this weekend to shake things down and we’ve run well at Charlotte in the past, so hopefully we can put this No. 9 in Victory Lane where it belongs this weekend and lock ourselves into the playoffs.” – Noah Gragson
