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 feel confident that we will have a strong Truck for this week’s race at Kentucky Speedway. 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.”
Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. is hot off his first Top-15 finish last weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Filling in for the injured Aric Almirola, Wallace will make his fourth Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start this weekend in the No. 43 Smithfield Ford.

“The track will take some time to get better, even with what they did with the pavement to try to make it age quicker last year. The track was very slick and just had one groove, which made passing a challenge, but that should improve with time. We also had a super conservative tire and I think we need the tires to wear out before the fuel runs out. I’m looking forward to getting back there and to going to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I’m excited for some of my guys to be able to see the hospital for the first time.”
