Brendan Gaughan Captures Fifth Top-10 of the Season at Bristol Motor Speedway

Arthur Guy   |   News
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet qualified 11th for Friday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway. After a 90-minute rain delay, Gaughan took the green flag and raced his way inside the top 10 where he stayed for the majority of the night. On lap 32, Gaughan reported his Camaro was just a tick free, and later reported the cars handling had improved. During the competition caution on lap 60, crew chief Shane Wilson elected to bring the Las Vegas-native in for four Goodyear tires and Sunoco fuel. Restarting 15th, the Richard Childress Racing team began working their way back to the top 10 and on lap 111 took over the 10th position. On lap 163, the 39-year-old driver reported he was loose exiting Turn 2 and Wilson adjusted the track bar during their pit stop on lap 185. Gaughan fought to maintain his track position and lined up seventh for the final restart on lap 294. The No. 62 RCR team finished the 300-lap event in the sixth position, earning their fifth top-10 finish of the season. Brendan Gaughan remains eighth in the driver point standings, only 18 points behind seventh.

BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE: 

“What a great night for this Richard Childress Racing team. This was such a fun night and we were all glad the rain held off for us to get the entire race in. I can’t thank Richard and my team enough for giving me such great equipment.”
