I say luck, but luck is opportunities meeting preparation. We were prepared and the opportunities came tonight. " Although disappointed not to win, Haley was encouraged after the race hoping he may have proven himself a short-track ace to those fans who consider him a speedway master only. He led 51 laps and his charge to the front was impressive by any standard. His No. 11 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet fell back to 25th place after making not one, but two pit stops during the Stage 1 caution period. In 40 laps however, he'd rallied all the way up to fifth place. He took the lead on Lap 174 and was finally passed by Allgaier with 29 laps remaining. "Allgaier was just a little bit better, " Haley said, adding with a smile, "I'm about tired of everyone on social media saying I can't show up anywhere but superspeedways. So I finally showed up somewhere where talent matters. " Cindric earned his series-best 10th stage victory in Stage 1 with Allgaier leading the way in Stage 2 in what was a largely "clean" race – only five caution flags (three mandated by NASCAR for a competition caution and the two stage breaks) and no major incidents.
