Gallagher and the No. 23 team will utilize chassis no. 220. This chassis has been raced three times this season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway by Johnny Sauter (start:12th/finish:19th), at Bristol Motor Speedway by Chase Elliott (start:15th/finish:8th) and at Richmond Raceway by Spencer Gallagher (start:16th /finish:12th).

The pressure is on for young Christopher Bell but he is not letting it affect him. It’s been a forgettable last two weeks for Bell after having issues during the races. Getting involved in two spins, in two different venues, has ended his days.

Contact at the front of the field brought out the caution on lap one Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway. Reed avoided any major damage in the melee, but suffered some cosmetic hood damage that required multiple trips down pit road for bearbond. Reed rebounded from the early contact and by the end of the race was in contention for a solid top-10 finish, until another competitor got underneath him on the track causing the No. 16 Drive Down A1C Lilly Diabetes Ford Mustang to get into the outside wall. The damage was too severe to continue, sending Reed to the garage four laps shy of the scheduled distance and scored with a 29th-place finish.

Austin Cindric and the No. 22 Discount Tire team overcame a weekend of adversity to record a solid third-place finish Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway.

Matt Tifft and the Anderson's Maple Syrup Team Battle to Seventh Place Finish "We had a great No. 2 Anderson's Maple Syrup Chevrolet at Texas today. We ran top-five, top-10 speeds all weekend long, both in practice and throughout the race. I struggled a little bit at the start of the race with a lack of rear grip, but that really came to me during the race with adjustments and as the track picked up more rubber."

Camry driver Brandon Jones was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) Playoffs race at Texas Motor Speedway after finishing sixth.

JEFF MEENDERING, crew chief, No. 00 Autodesk Ford Mustang -- DO YOU GET ANY HELP FROM YOUR CUP TEAMS IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY AND SETTING UP THESE CARS? “We use as much information as we can from them. Obviously the cars are drastically different and the rules package is different but there are some things we can use. Tire information and stuff like that. We use as much as we can.”

AUSTIN CINDRIC, No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang -- Finished 3rd - WALK US THROUGH THAT INCIDENT WITH CHRISTOPHER BELL AND YOU ARE IN A MUST WIN SITUATION NEXT WEEKEND AT PHOENIX. WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH? “I have been in a must-win position since Kansas. For me that hasn’t changed. I was the car stuck on the bottom with one guy all over my tail and one guy all over my door. I moved up two inches and those were the two inches that the 20 was off my door."

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Autodesk Ford Mustang -- Finished 1st “I can’t believe it. The 1 is the best pusher in the series and I hated that I didn’t have him behind me. We did all we could. I drove it in deeper than I have all weekend and it worked out. I am pumped for Autodesk, their first time on the car. Gene Haas, I wouldn’t be here without him and Haas Automation. I am pumped. We are going to Homestead and I think we have a great shot of winning.”
