Started: 27th
Finished: 28th

NOTES:

• McMurray was forced to start at the rear of the field due to the team moving to a backup car after a wreck in practice on Friday. The No. 1 Chevrolet barrel rolled down the back stretch after the car suffered a tire failure at speed.
• Sunday’s raced had more of the same when McMurray was involved in multi-car incident on lap 71. This time, the car stayed grounded, and McMurray was able to continue after several trips to pit road for repairs.
• Following the race’s final caution, McMurray was able to gain an additional seven positions moving from 35^th to 28^th.
• The caution flag was shown six times for a total of 29 laps and the lead changed 25 times among 16 drivers

QUOTES:

“I think that our team is glad to be leaving Talladega this weekend. The guys did a nice job of trying to make repairs to the car today and keep us on the track to make-up a few positions. It made for a long day just riding around and stay out of the way, but that is just the nature of the racing here.”
