Bell Looking Forward to Daytona Road Course

“The Daytona Road Course was a good race for me last year. It was a place we showed a lot of speed. The JGR cars were exceptional during the Clash so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can bring.”

Daytona Road Course: Christopher Bell will make his second NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start on the Daytona Road Course this Sunday in the No. 20 Rheem Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). Bell had a good run last year on the Road Course at Daytona. Bell qualified 15th and ran inside the top 10 until a spin late in the final stage. The spin resulted in some fender damage and a trip down pit road. Bell restarted 31st with three laps remaining and worked his way forward to finish 21st.

Daytona 500 Recap: Bell led the qualifying effort for JGR and started fifth for his first Daytona 500 behind the wheel of the No. 20. He had a fast Toyota and was able to lead 32 laps, but a flat tire under green in stage two caused some damage to the No. 20 and the team had trouble with getting the car full of fuel. Despite the setbacks, Bell was able to earn a 16th-place finish to kick off the 2021 NCS season.

Featured on the No.20 Toyota Camry: No. 20 Toyota Camry will carry the Rheem colors this weekend in Daytona. Rheem has been partnered with Bell since 2018. The Rheem logo can also be seen on the No. 18 JGR Toyota with Kyle Busch.

JGR At Daytona Road Course: JGR has four NCS starts at the Daytona Road Course, earning two top-five and two top-10 finishes. The championship-winning organization has an average start of 7.2 and an average finish of 13.2.
