J.J. Yeley, No. 38 Long John Silver's Ford
Starting Position: 32
Finishing Position: 27
J.J. Yeley and the No. 38 Long John Silver's Ford team were able to stay on the lead lap for the majority of the day before coming home a strong 27th on Sunday. On a traditionally good track for Yeley, he wheeled the No. 38 against the leaders all afternoon before losing two laps late in the race.
Yeley had a fast car, but lost one lap early in the race because of a long run and poor track position to start the race. Yeley, however, was told to take the "wave around' to get his lap back during the first caution. He was off sequence, but eventually earned the free pass on a Lap-174 caution. He then raced with the leaders before eventually losing laps late in the race. The team still held off competitors from teams like Michael Waltrip Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports and more to finish 27th.
Comments from Long John Silver's Ford team driver J.J. Yeley after New Hampshire:
"Yeah, we were up there all day until the end. It's tough to gain track position, but we did a good job of staying on the lead lap for most of the race. The car wasn't bad, but once we got the free pass we were in the back of the field. It's hard to move up without cautions to help the car, too. But, it wasn't bad and hopefully we can get a bit better at Dover." |
