From the Cockpit:
John Hunter Nemechek: “I’m really excited to have the opportunity to get back behind the wheel of a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota GR Supra. We had some success last season and hopefully we go out and duplicate that effort this year. The No. 18 Toyota GR Supra has been really fast this season and I’m looking forward to working with (Crew Chief) Jason (Ratcliff) and seeing what we can do. I enjoy racing at Richmond and feel like we have a great opportunity to get Safeway and Toyota in Victory Lane on Saturday afternoon.”
