Console: Xbox One
Start: 4th
Finish: 14th
Status: Did Not Start
Laps Completed: 0/70
Points: 10th (-63)
Notes:
- Brian Tedeschi (ShellVPower22) qualified solidly in the fourth position for Wednesday night’s eNASCAR Heat Pro League event at virtual Dover International Speedway, but a technical issue kept the former eNHPL race winner from making any laps in the event.
Quote:
“I’m still not sure what happened at the start of the race. I feel terrible because we qualified well, and I know the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford would have raced well. I’m sure we’ll have a talk with the league about it. It won’t destroy our season because we have three more segments to win and qualify for the championship.”

- The Waynesboro, Va., native was also strong in qualifying, picking up his best starting position of the year to roll off from the 15th position for the 70-lap race.
- Rothgeb kept his Wurth machine on the fringe of the top five through each pit stop and used a strong rally over the final laps to score a fifth-place finish.

Quote:
"That was the best No. 2 Wurth Ford that I’ve had so far this year. We were able to qualify much better than I had in the first two races, and I think I had better than a fifth-place car. It wasn’t the best night on pit road. I lost some spots there, but it was great to finally get a top five on the year. Now we need to keep getting better and challenge for a win.”
