- Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 41 team fought through handling woes at Phoenix Raceway. Currey started the race in 18th, but dropped outside the top-20 in both stages. The team gained a lap back by virtue of the wave around, but were in need of a late caution to advance further through the field. Currey finished the night in 21st.
- Bayley Currey’s Post-Race Thoughts: “We had to work hard all night. Our truck struggled early, but the guys got it pretty decent. We ended up going a lap down early but got it back. We were fighting really hard there and maybe we just did a little too much. Guys on new tires were coming at the end, and we were really hoping for a caution but never got it. Thank you to everyone on this No. 41 team. I know it’s been a a rough year, but they always kept fighting at it. Thank you to everyone with AutoVentive, Precision Vehicle Logistics, DQS, and Masked Owl for their support this year. It really meant a lot to me.”

- Key Takeaway: Matt Mills and the No. 42 team had a quiet night in Phoenix after getting trapped a lap down early on. Mills started 28th and hung relatively around the same spot in both of the first two stages. The team made several adjustments to help the handling, but ultimately they were unable to get back in contention. The J.F. Electric / Utilitra Chevrolet finished the year with a 25th-place run.
- Matt Mills’ Post-Race Thoughts: “Man, that wasn’t the way we were hoping to end our season tonight, but regardless I’m thankful to everyone for all the hard work they put in with me this year. We went to a lot of these tracks basically for the first time with me in a truck, and I learned a ton. Definitely could have been better for us, but hey, I think next year we’ll be up-to-speed a lot quicker. We’ve got a whole offseason to prep and come out of the gate strong, and I think once we get the momentum heading our way we’ll be in good shape. Can’t say thanks enough to everyone at J.F. Electric and Utilitra for sticking with me, and to Al Niece for letting me race his trucks this year.”

- Key Takeaway: Stefan Parsons and the No. 44 team were en route to a solid night at Phoenix Raceway but were unfortunately caught up in a multi-truck crash midway through the race. Parsons qualified 23rd and gained positions in both stages. The team received the free pass and worked inside the top-15 before the incident relegated them to a 23rd-place finish.
- Stefan Parsons’ Post-Race Thoughts: “It was awesome to drive one of the Niece trucks tonight. I really thought we could have finished top-10. It sucks that we got caught up in that wreck and had all that damage, but Jon Leonard did a great job bringing a solid truck to the racetrack and making it better all night long. I’ve got to thank PopSells.com, Al (Niece), Lane (Moore), and everyone at Niece Motorsports for the opportunity. I really thought we had a solid shot at a top-10, but it happens. I’m ready to go onto the Xfinity Series race tomorrow and see what happens there.”

Start: 8th
Stage 1: 11th
Stage 2: 14th
Finish: 7th
Driver Points: 19th
Owner Points: 10th
- Key Takeaway: Kaden Honeycutt and the No. 45 team overcame adversity to finish the season with a top-10 finish. Honeycutt qualified eighth but slid to 11th in the first stage with a loose-handling truck. After making adjustments, they dropped to 14th in stage two, but were able to head in the right direction for the final stage. Honeycutt was given a restart violation late in the going but rallied back to cross the line in seventh-place.
- Kaden Honeycutt’s Post-Race Thoughts: “We had a great comeback tonight. At the beginning, I was free, so we came in and made a change to it. I was struggling with turn and drive-off. The right-front hung pretty hard so that gave us a slow stop. In stage two, we tried to work on it a little more, but tit didn’t do what we needed it to. Then in the final stage, I got us a restart violation which was 100% my fault. We came in, put tires on it, and made more adjustments, and it was extremely good. I think we drove from 21st to seventh.
We learned a lot about the truck tonight and what we need to do different when we come back next November. Hopefully by then, we’ll be running for a championship. I’ve got to say a big thank you to Al Niece, Cody Efaw, Lane Moore, Jason Wilson, just everyone that’s helped me race this year. Also, everyone at AutoVentive, Precision, Moore’s Venture Foods, for being great partners this year.”
