Ty Gibbs, Driver of the No. 54 Monster Energy Toyota Camry XSE: 

“We had a good run last week at Darlington and it was a good effort by everyone on the 54 crew. Looking forward to the All Star Open. We need to qualify for the All-Star race and we did a tire test for Goodyear a couple of months ago at North Wilkesboro. We’ll see what happens, but I know Chris Gayle and 54 boys will bring me a good Monster Energy Toyota Camry XSE.”
