Driver Quote: “I always look forward to getting back to the race track,” said Bell. “We are still working hard every day at the shop to get our trucks better and better.

I’ve made several starts at this track, so it’s some place I am familiar with, but I’m interested to get on track in this Truck since the repave. If we can keep our truck clean, we should have a chance at a solid finish.”
