Cassill finishes 23rd at Bristol

A race-long climb ended in a 23rd-place finish for Landon Cassill in Friday night’s Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Cassill returned to the cockpit of the Flex Seal Chevrolet after a race absence.

He qualified 36th but gained ground quickly and ran as high as 18th late in the race.

 “It’s one of those tracks where it’s hard to pass, so any spots you can make up you usually have to really work for,” Cassill said. “We moved up through there throughout the night and came back with a decent finish.”

Kyle Busch dominated the race and won by .83 of a second over Brad Keselowski.

The Nationwide Series moves on to Atlanta Motor Speedway for its next race.
