Bayley Currey on Friday’s Race at Martinsville Speedway: “Our Sparco Chevrolet Silverado looks great, and I’m excited to get it on track this week at Martinsville,” said Currey. “We’ve brought fast trucks to the track every weekend, we’re just looking to close the deal. Martinsville is a different animal, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
By The Numbers: Friday’s race marks Currey’s 50th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start.
Currey has one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start at Martinsville Speedway, coming in 2017.
Currey also has five NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at the Virginia short track, with his most recent coming in 2022.
On the Truck: Currey’s No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado will race with support from Sparco.
Recapping the Last Race: Bayley Currey and the No. 41 team diagnosed a brake issue after Friday’s practice and qualifying session. The repairs forced Currey to start Saturday’s race at the tail-end of the field. Currey quickly began working his way through the pack when he lost power steering early in the race. Currey and the No. 41 team worked hard to maintain position in the top-20, battling a fuel pressure issue as well. Through all the adversity, Currey and team were able to bring home a 16th-place finish.
Currey on Last Race at Circuit of the Americas: “It was a disappointing day,” said Currey. “We had a brake issue yesterday and got that fixed, and then about lap five today we lost power steering. It was just a rough day afterwards. The truck had speed and I hate coming to my home track and to not have a good day. Everyone on my No. 41 team worked so hard all day to keep me in the fight and to finish in 16th after all that. We’ll take it and move along to Martinsville.”
