Coby Wheels 7NY To Seventh-Place Finish at Lancaster Motorplex

LANCASTER, N.H. – After 150 laps in Western New York, Doug Coby drove the Mayhew Tools, Tommy Baldwin Racing No. 7NY to a seventh-place finish on Saturday night at Lancaster Motorplex. In the Nu-Way Auto Parts 150, Coby ran in and around the top-five for the entirety of the race.

A caution flag just after halfway brought the field to pit road for adjustments, and the team sent Coby back on the track looking to gain ground towards another win. However, it wasn’t in the cards on Saturday. Coby challenged Matt Hirschman for third, gave up the spot, and looked to be in good position to run fourth until a late caution.

On the restart, Coby was racing hard on the outside lane when two other cars in front of him tangled, and he fell back to seventh, where he would finish. 

Doug Coby will return to the track with Tommy Baldwin Racing for the next NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Wednesday, August 16. The main event will air live on FloRacing.TV.
