Myatt Snider / No. 19 Tree Top Toyota GR Supra Preview

NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway

SNIDER AT PHOENIX: Myatt Snider and the No. 19 Tree Top Toyota GR Supra head to Phoenix Raceway this weekend, where the 28-year-old Charlotte, NC native will close out the 2023 NXS season with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates. Snider has six previous starts at the track, highlighted by a career best finish of 11^th in 2021. Cumulatively, Snider has an average start of 21.2 and an average finish of 18.5 at Phoenix, and looks to improve on those numbers in this weekend’s season finale.
PREVIOUSLY AT JGR: Snider was on track for a great day last time out at Martinsville Speedway. After starting 11^th, Snider drove his way through the field under green, earning an eighth place finish in stage one and a third place finish in stage two. After running as high as second, Snider lost track position due to pit strategy and unfortunately got caught up in a mid-pack accident with six laps to go. Despite the damage, Snider battled to a 15^th place finish on the day.
FROM INTERN TO DRIVER: Snider’s relationship with JGR started all the way back in 2014 when he joined the team as a fabrication intern. From there, he continued to be a part of the JGR family as a mechanic. Snider spent a total of three years with the team and now watches his career come full circle as he gets behind the wheel for the same organization he once worked for as a young man.
THE NO. 19 IN 2023: The JGR No. 19 will have a rotating schedule of drivers throughout the 2023 season. Drivers who have raced the No. 19 as of Martinsville are Ty Gibbs, Connor Mosack, Ryan Truex, Denny Hamlin, Joe Graf Jr., Trevor Bayne, and Snider. With three wins on the year from Truex, Gibbs, and Hamlin, the group of drivers have carried the No. 19 Toyota GR Supra to ninth in the owners’ points standings. Snider is slated finish out the season for the No. 19 Toyota GR Supra.
JGR AT PHOENIX: Joe Gibbs Racing has earned 16 NXS wins at Phoenix Raceway, including three of the past four races at the one-mile track.

What are your thoughts as you head into your final race of the season?

“I’m hoping we can give Jason (Ratcliff) a fun final ride this weekend. He’s a true role model in our sport and I have loved working with him this year. With this being his last race as a full-time crew chief, I would love to help him go out with a bang. I’m looking forward to getting out there this weekend and ending the year on a high note.”
