Tyler Young, driver of the No. 02 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado, made his 10th track debut of the 2014 season in Saturday night’s Rhino Linings 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Young, who has 28 career starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) to date, started a career best 10th for the 17th race on the 2014 schedule, when he was one of only 11 trucks to take time in Round 2 of knockout pole qualifying on Saturday afternoon.
Running as high as 10th and as low as 24th throughout the 146-lap event, Young complained of a Silverado that was, “free, but aero tight in traffic.” Crew chief Bryan Berry brought the Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender to pit road under caution for an unscheduled stop at lap 15 to adjust a shock, returning the Midland, Texas native to the race track in the 22nd position. Young broke into the top-20 by lap 60 and maintained ground as he learned his way around the 1.5-mile oval battling a Silverado that was “wrecking loose.”
Berry brought the No. 02 machine down pit road for scheduled stops at laps 32, 57 and 113, respectively, for four tires and fuel. The Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender would continue to battle a loose-handling condition throughout the remainder of the event and cross the stripe 19th, behind race winner, Erik Jones.
