Brendan Gaughan Finishes 16th in Drive for the Cure 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Arthur Guy   |   News
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino team qualified 14th for Friday night’s Drive for the Cure 300 presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gaughan reported he was battling a tight-handling Chevrolet on lap 14. The Shane Wilson-led team made a wedge adjustment during the first pit stop on lap 18 that improved the handling of the No. 62 machine. On lap 47 the Las Vegas-native broke into the top 10 and by lap 63 was up to third. A late-race pit stop restarted the Richard Childress Racing team in the 18th position on lap 190. The 39-year-old driver crossed the line 16th at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gaughan and the No. 62 team are eighth in the driver point standings as the Series takes a two week hiatus and will return in November at Texas Motor Speedway.

BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE: 

“This RCR team is swinging for fences right now with three races to go. We have nothing to lose, so we are trying to go fast and take chances and just live life. I am looking forward to returning to one of my best tracks, Texas Motor Speedway.”
