From the Cockpit:
Christopher Bell: ““Kansas has been a really good track for us as an organization. It seems like whenever you have multiple grooves the Next Gen car provides really good races, and Kansas is the staple for Next Gen racing now. We had a great Toyota Camry in the May race and we were really competitive but didn’t get the finish that we could have, we know if we go back there and do the same thing we’ll have a good shot at it.”
