NASCAR O'Reilly Series

CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Rheem Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What do you think about racing at Bristol Motor Speedway? “For me, I love Bristol – it's one of my favorite race tracks that we go to throughout the course of the year. I haven’t had any success here, but it’s always a really fun race track and driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, I’ve got really fast race cars. Hopefully, we can turn that around this weekend.”
