It was Sommerville’s second fourth-place finish in as many starts this season. Sommerville started eighth in the 22-car field, but an early domino-effect spin set him back to shotgun on the field. He rallied back to the Top-10 by Lap 100 and was sitting on the outside pole on the first of several green-white-checkered restarts. After a couple of leaders got together, he was forced to settle for the fourth-place finish.
