Marco Andretti’s race truck loses rear end housing in Truck Series COTA race

Marco Andretti’s fourth career Truck Series start came to an early end Saturday after the entire rear end housing came off the No. 04 Chevrolet.

The incident occurred when Andretti spun suddenly in Turn 11. The No. 04 Roper Racing entry slid across the track and ended up off the racing surface. The rear end housing rolled across the track and came to a rest in the grass.

Andretti ended the day 31st while Corey Heim won his first race of the season.
