During  the second caution flag on lap 35, Gallagher brought the No. 23 on pit road with the crew taking care of a tight on exit on throttle issue with four tires and a track bar adjustment. Although the tight condition was still present, a rare forward bite allowed Gallagher to race his way to 13th by the fourth caution on lap 74.  Continue reading →
