Harrison Rhodes, driving the Flex Seal Colors Chevrolet, finished 36th in Saturday’s Winn-Dixie 300, his first race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Rhodes started 36th and raced into the 20s but became involved in a 10-car crash in the fourth turn on lap 74. A sour transmission forced him out of the race after 84 laps.
“It was a tough day to make moves out there,” Rhodes said. “We got wrapped up in that first big wreck, and that didn’t help things. Got a lot of laps in, though, and we’ll use the experience to help with the next restrictor-plate race.”
Rhodes, a rookie in the Xfinity Series, dropped one spot to 24th in the series driver standings.
