Driver Quote: “I can’t wait to get back on track this week in Charlotte,” said Bell. “We were here a few weeks ago testing, and I really feel like this team made a lot of progress and learned a lot during the test. Plus, it never hurts to get some extra seat time. I think this team has shown consistent improvement so far this season, and I look forward to building on that again this week.”
