August 7, 2016: Cheez-It 355

Matt climbed from p35 to the top 10 at Watkins Glen International. He reached p6 for his highest position in the race. Matt pitted on lap 47 and the caution came out while he was still on pit road. Crew chief Gene Nead used a fuel mileage strategy and topped off the car again under the same caution, putting him back on the track at p31. By lap 65, Matt reached p13 again. In the final laps, Matt was caught in a late-race incident with nowhere to go and finished p34.
