14 back on the lead lap for its class, Busch got out for an early driver change. Busch was the third driver scheduled to get into the Lexus and Hawksworth started the race 37th out of a record-low 38 cars and struggled to gain any ground. Hawksworth said the car was in need of both speed and adjustments to help the handling. AD“The position right now doesn’t make a difference, but we’ll need to find some performance by the end of the race,” Hawksworth said. He finally climbed from the car when the team realized it needed a lengthy repair to the radiator.
