From the Cockpit:
John Hunter Nemechek: “I’m looking forward to Texas and getting back behind the wheel of the No. 18 ROMCO Equipment Toyota GR Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing. I’ve really enjoyed racing in the Xfinity Series this year and have learned a lot from this Joe Gibbs Racing team. Texas has been pretty good to me over the years, and I think we have a great shot at winning again this weekend. Hopefully we can go out and put on a great show for the fans, and all the folks in attendance from ROMCO on Saturday and come home with a cowboy hat!”
