Gaughan Battles to a Second-Place Result at Charlotte Motor Speedway
Start – 23 Finish – 2 Laps Led – 15 Points – 4th
BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE:
“We did not have a textbook night. Shane (Wilson, crew chief) tried some pit strategy in the beginning of the race that ended up not working in our favor, and then I thought I had an issue with the South Point Chevrolet and we fell back in the field both times. We continued to work hard all night and in the end I was up front running down Kyle (Busch). Unfortunately, we just didn’t have enough time to get the job done. This is our third top-five finish in a row, so I can’t be happier with the entire South Point Hotel & Casino team so far this season.”
