Tyler Hill finishes 3rd at Hickory

Tyler Hill was finally denied in the Allison Legacy Series but it was hard work for the competitors to detour point leader.

Hill took the lead and pulled away from the pack by the halfway mark of the event only to have the field bunch back up after a caution. Rival John Nemechek took the lead after a bump and run move but Tyler quickly reclaimed the lead.

The two battled back and forth until Hill got spun and restarted at the tail of the field with just a handful of laps remaining.

Tyler drove like a champion up to the 3rd position as the checkered flag fell.

"We were looking for the win but will take the 3rd and the points lead with us. John raced hard and tonight was his night. Congrats to him and his team," stated Hill
