2 and Love could only drive it to a 23rd place finish. For his part, Caruth finished 13th. “There is a lot I needed to do different there,” Caruth said.
“I wasn’t the cleanest on my execution there. I took a race-winning car and finished outside the top 10 and damaged it. ” Caruth was also involved in a separate crash shortly afterwards when he bobbled under Harrison Burton.
In this incident, Burton was struggling and backed-up to Caruth. At the same time, Sammy Smith got under Caruth and loosened him up to trigger the ordeal. But the incident with Love comes off previous incidents at Martinsville and Rockingham.
