From the Cockpit:
Christopher Bell: “I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of my GameStop Camry this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. I spent the last two weeks racing on dirt, but am excited to get back in the swing of things on the Xfinity Side. This is an important race for us, as it serves as a qualifying race for the first Dash 4 Cash race next weekend at Bristol, but it’s also in GameStop’s back yard as their headquarters are close to the track in Grapevine. I’m really happy with where our mile-and-a-half program is right now, so hopefully we can go out on Saturday and get a good finish for GameStop and all of our partners on this No. 20 team.”
