DiBenedetto Battles to 35th in Mission 200 at the Glen
Watkins Glen International is one of NASCAR’s premier road courses, but Matt DiBenedetto’s day was cut short by mechanical issues in the Mission 200. Starting with high hopes, Matt quickly ran into trouble as his car experienced power issues early in the race, ultimately resulting in a 35th-place finish.
Matt showed strong pace in practice and qualifying, and the team felt confident heading into the race. However, by lap 20, it became clear that something was wrong with the car. The team made multiple pit stops to try to resolve the issue, but the mechanical gremlins persisted, ultimately forcing Matt to finish the race several laps down.
“Watkins Glen is a track I love, so it’s disappointing to have a day like this,” Matt said. “We had a fast car, but sometimes the mechanical issues get the best of you. Big thanks to ReMA for sticking with us. We’ll regroup and come back stronger.”
Despite the result, Matt and his team are determined to bounce back at the next event.
