Car 60 Chris Buescher Roush Performance Products Ford had enough fuel to make the checkered flag for the win. Car 6 Darrell Wallace Jr. # Ford EcoBoost Ford was not impressed with his team-mate Chris Buescher cutting his tire on lap 191. “I was saving fuel there, and Chris just ran over me and he ends up winning,” Wallace said. “It should be interesting Monday morning (in the team competition meeting). We just got run over. It sucks that it was my teammate. I thought he got help from the 7 (third-place finisher Regan Smith), but I just saw the replay there.
“I was saving fuel. I didn’t think I was holding him tight and the next thing you know we’re almost in the fence,” continued Wallace, a NASCAR Next and Drive for Diversity alum. “The crappy part about it is we had a really strong Ford EcoBoost Mustang, and we couldn’t get off pit road to save us, and we got caught in dirty air, and then we were in fuel saving mode. I thought we were doing OK until that little incident. I would say I am happy Roush won but I’m not.”
