NASCAR Xfinity Action Takes Finchum to Dover
Dover, Delaware (09/30/17) - Chad Finchum returned to NASCAR Xfinity Series competition on Saturday afternoon at Dover International Speedway (Dover, Delaware), where he was making his fifth-career start with the tour.
Finchum started his Use Your Melon, Drive Sober 200 weekend at the track known as "The Monster Mile," by qualifying 34th on the grid. Despite qualifying deep in the field, Chad knew that he had a really fast car in race trim.
In fact, less than 20 laps into the event, he was already up to the 26th position in his Buddy Gregg RVs & Motor Homes #40 MBM Motorsports entry. Unfortunately his day at the mile oval would be abruptly brought to an end just a few laps later, when he was caught up in a multi-car incident.
"Some cars checked up in front of us and when I checked up I got caught in the left rear, which sent us into the wall hard," Finchum said of the incident. "That's the second time this year that we've been in the wrong place at the wrong time at Dover. It's definitely disappointing, but it's just part of it when it comes to racing.
"I want to say a very special thanks to MBM Motorsports for preparing a super-fast race car once again. Sooner or later I know our luck is going to change, and we are going to get that finish that I know we are capable of achieving."
The team now turns their attention to the next event, which will see Chad piloting the #40 Chevrolet Camaro into battle in the Drive for the Cure 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, North Carolina) this Saturday, October 7.
