The finish was Lepage’s second of the 2012 season and his first since Talladega, three races ago.
With the finish, Lepage moved into a tie for fifth in the all-time LASTCAR Nationwide Series standings. He also equals Johnny Chapman’s mark of 24 finishes for 6th all-time across NASCAR’s top three divisions.
Lepage qualified 33rd at an average speed of 172.988 mph, ranking him seventh among the thirteen "go-or-go-homers" who attempted to qualify. This allowed Lepage to make his second consecutive start in TriStar’s #10. The team’s regular driver Jeff Green continued to fill in for Eric McClure in the #14 Hefty Toyota, starting 18th and finishing 32nd.
