Chandler Smith, No. 16 Quick Tie Products Chevrolet
Chandler Smith qualified 11th for the Call811.com Before You Dig. 250 at Martinsville Speedway.
Smith moved into the top 10 quickly but lacked left front grip and drive off in his No. 16 Quick Tie Chevy. Smith finished stage one in eighth place, and the team brought him down pit road to make a handling adjustment.
Smith started the second stage in eighth. As the stage went on, Smith radioed to crew chief, Bruce Schlicker, that his No. 16 Chevrolet was tight rolling into the corner and still lacked drive off. Smith was able to find speed by changing up the line he was running near the end of the stage, finishing stage two in ninth place.
Restarting stage three in eighth, Smith’s handling issues continued until a late-race adjustment would free the No. 16 Chevy up and help him in the middle of the corners. Smith went on to finish 10th.
“We had a solid No. 16 Quick Tie Products Chevy Camaro today. We maintained top 10 all day, staying between sixth and 10th. Didn’t really go anywhere other than that. I’m really happy with the consistency our No. 16 crew keeps showing each week. I can’t thank these guys enough.”
