- Racing in the California with a New Look: Christopher Bell and the No. 20 team will have a new look when they hit the track this weekend as GameStop will make an appearance on the Joe Gibbs Racing Camry for the first of 10 races during the 2018 season. Bell will be making his first-career start at Auto Club Speedway (ACS) on Saturday afternoon as the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) wraps up its West Coast Swing.
- Phoenix Recap: The NXS took to the track last weekend at ISM Raceway for their first of two stops during the 2018 season at the one-mile speedway located in Avondale, AZ. Christopher Bell and his Rheem team continued their hot streak, earning the fourth starting position on Saturday morning, running a time of 26.933 seconds around the one-mile oval. After two lengthy rain delays, and a battle for the lead with Cup Series Regular Brad Keselowski with 36 laps remaining in the race, Bell and his Rheem team ultimately crossed the finish line in the fourth position, good enough for their third-consecutive top-four finish on the young season.

From the Cockpit:
Christopher Bell: “When they told me last season that I would be racing full time in the Xfinity Series this year, Auto Club Speedway was one of two tracks that I had circled and was really excited for. We’ve put in some good work to get prepared for this weekend, and I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday and learn my way around the big two-mile oval. I’m really excited to have Gamestop and Turtle Beach on our Camry this weekend, and hopefully we can go out, have a good finish and continue to build on the momentum that our team has built the last couple of weeks.”
