But Michael Waltrip delivered a solid performance and finished 10th in his debut with Brewco Motorsports.
"I just appreciate driving good cars, and lately we haven't been hitting it with our Busch cars, and it was good to get in there and run in the top 10 and have a consistent day," Waltrip said.
However, Waltrip had a rough day as an owner. David Reutimann, who won a Craftsman Truck Series race here last year, crashed in Waltrip's car and finished 34th.
