From the Cockpit:
Christopher Bell: “I have had great equipment every time I’ve gone to Loudon, in Trucks, Xfinity and Cup. Loudon is a track that Joe Gibbs Racing has a great history at, we have good setups at the short tracks and Loudon is a place that translates. I always say if you have a good race car your going to do well and if you have a bad race car your going to do bad and Loudon is one of those places we have good cars most of the time. I’m excited about the Xfinity race Saturday, I’m always thrilled when I get to do extra races, it will be fun, and we’ll see if I can keep the streak going.”
