On lap 38, Gaughan had a right-rear tire go flat forcing the team to return to pit road under green falling two laps down. The Las Vegas-native made a green-flag pit stop on lap 136 and was penalized for entering pit road to fast.

BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE: 

“Sorry to all my No 62 team, I just pushed it a little too hard entering pit road. We were fortunate to be able to gamble and make up four positions after the speeding penalty. We’ll continue to work hard and move on to Dover.”
