Bell at Homestead: Christopher Bell will make his second NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend in the No. 20 Rheem Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). Bell started 36th in 2020 at Homestead based on a random qualifying draw based on point standings but, despite starting back in the pack, from the drop of the green flag steadily worked his way through the field.
