As the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series gets started in Bristol, Tennessee this weekend, they will have reached the 2/3rd mark of the 2018 season. Only three races stand between the regular season and the NASCAR Playoffs, and there is no better track than the “World’s Fastest Half-Mile”, Bristol Motor Speedway, to set the scene. Matt DiBenedetto might be one of the biggest fans of the half-mile high-banked racetrack. His career-best finish came at the speedway in 2016 where he drove to a sixth place finish.

Last Week For the No.32 Team:
Last weekend, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series was at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Harvest Investments / Harvest-Properties.com was the primary sponsor of the No.32 Ford. Matt DiBenedetto qualified 31st for Sunday’s 400-mile race.
During the first couple of stages of Sunday’s race, Crew Chief Randy Cox and Matt DiBenedetto made several changes to help the balance of the No.32 Harvest Investments / Harvest-Properties.com Ford. DiBenedetto and Crew Chief Randy Cox found the perfect balance setup-wise about mid-race, and on the last pit-stop of the day, Crew Chief Randy Cox called for fuel-only, picking up several spots for the No.32 team en route to a 24th place finish.
DiBenedetto on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol will always have a special place in my heart. I think a lot of people will agree that this place kind of put me on the map for a lot of teams. Our sixth place run caught the attention of a lot of people in and outside of the NASCAR garage. It’s such a fast racetrack for being only a half-mile long, and you never really get a chance to take a breath. You’re basically racing in traffic the entire race and always on edge. Something can happen a corner ahead of you and before you know, you’re in the wreck yourself,” DiBenedetto said.
DiBenedetto continued, “I know as a team we really mark-off tracks like Bristol and raise our expectations. We know we should come home with a top-25 this weekend and if we play our cards right, maybe even something better. I’m very excited to get on track this weekend with the Zynga Poker Ford.”
