From the Cockpit:

Christopher Bell: “I’m very excited and thankful to showcase one of my heroes in the sport and someone who had a lot of success in the No. 20 car at Joe Gibbs Racing this weekend in Darlington. I’m glad we get to carry those DEWALT colors and hopefully we can make Matt proud. Darlington is always hard no matter the distance, it’s hard to make 400 miles around that place without damaging your car, but you’ve got to be there at the end if you want to win.”
