No. 95 Procore Toyota Camry News and Notes:

• Bell at Darlington: Christopher Bell, a Rookie in the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS), will make his second NCS start at Darlington Raceway Wednesday evening.  Bell made his first NCS start at Darlington on Sunday finishing 24^th.  Prior to his Cup debut at “The Lady in Black,” Bell has two NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) starts under his belt at the 1.366-mile track, earning one top-five and one top-10 finish.  For both NXS starts at Darlington Bell qualified second, narrowly missing starting on the pole at Darlington both times.
• Honoring #TheRealHeroes: Christopher Bell will replace his name on the No. 95 Procore Toyota Camry with Peter Gauna for Darlington as part of honoring and thanking the front-line workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic.  Peter (Pete) Gauna, from Safford, AZ, is being honored as a Star of Life for his unwavering commitment to community service. Colleagues say that community service is not what Pete does, but who he is. Pete started the annual First Responders Strike Out Cancer Softball Tournament to foster inter-agency relationships between first responders and healthcare workers and to raise money for cancer patients. The event has raised several thousand dollars already. Pete also coordinated a “Fill the Ambulance with Toys for Tots” challenge. He coordinated with the Marine Corps to have a Lifeline Ambulance in front of a local store where they collected more than 300 hundred toys and several hundred dollars. Pete’s compassion extends to his coworkers as well who he helps out when times are troubled, with a kind word or even financial assistance. As a direct result, Pete was awarded with the “Above & Beyond” award by his EMS peers.

• Starting Lineup – Toyota 500: For the Toyota 500 at Darlington Raceway, Bell will start from the 24^th position based on his finishing position in The Real Heroes 400.

From the Cockpit:

Christopher Bell: “Sunday’s race at Darlington was very beneficial to us.  With me being a rookie, it was nice to get another race under my belt and now returning to the same track days later I have a better understanding of what I need.  It feels good to be back racing and I’m excited for a Wednesday night race at Darlington.”
