What happened
At lap 110 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kaulig Racing kept Parker Kligerman’s No. 25 out on older tires as the leaders pitted, moving him to 3rd. Kligerman said the strategy depended on another caution to take fresh tires, even with just 5 laps remaining. Fresh tires quickly charged back on the lap 114 restart.
What it cost
Kligerman finished 15th after the stay-out call. He rated the truck’s underlying pace as good enough to run between 10th and 15th.
What could have been done differently
Kaulig should have taken fresh tires for Kligerman instead of leaving him to defend track position on worn rubber while waiting for another caution. Teammate Corey LaJoie used fresh tires to finish 10th.
