PREECE AT CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY: Ryan Preece will make his 10th start of the 2018 season for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) at Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS). For his 14th-career start with JGR in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS), Preece will be behind the wheel of the No. 18 Rheem Toyota Camry. Preece has a good history on road courses and looks to add another strong finish as the NXS will be racing on the Charlotte ROVAL for the first time starting Thursday.

The Charlotte ROVAL will be an awesome experience for everyone involved. NASCAR has done a great job keeping Xfinity Series drivers blind to the road course

JGR AT CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY: Joe Gibbs Racing has a total of 93 starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Of those 93 starts, JGR has eight wins, six poles, 36 top-five finishes, 54 top-10 finishes, an average start of 10.8 and an average finish of 12. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Mike Bliss hold all victories at Charlotte Motor Speedway for JGR in the NXS.

THIS WEEK ON THE NO. 18 TOYOTA: This week the No. 18 Rheem Toyota Camry will be on display for the Drive for the Cure 200. This will be the seventh time that Rheem will be the primary sponsor of the No. 18 Toyota Camry for Preece this season.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE: Preece is scheduled to compete in three more races with Rheem as the Primary sponsor of his No. 18 Toyota Camry. Following Charlotte, Preece will drive the Rheem Toyota at Texas Motor Speedway, ISM Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway to close out the season.

Ryan Preece: “The Charlotte ROVAL will be an awesome experience for everyone involved. NASCAR has done a great job keeping Xfinity Series drivers blind to the road course, making it fair game for everyone come Thursday. I enjoy road course racing and want to make sure we put on a show for our Rheem guests this weekend. I feel that this weekend could be a good opportunity for us to gain ground in the Owner’s Championship points standings.”
