[autotag]Joe Gibbs Racing[/autotag] has made a change involving [autotag]Christopher Bell[/autotag]’s team for the 2023 NASCAR playoffs. The organization has swapped the No. 20 and No. 54 pit crews after Ty Gibbs failed to make the playoffs at Daytona International Speedway. Bell’s new pit crew now ranks third-fastest when it relates to average time on a four-tire pit stop.
Meanwhile, Gibbs’ new pit crew ranks 20th-fastest when it relates to average time on a four-tire pit stop. This change makes sense for Joe Gibbs Racing as Bell made the Championship 4 during the 2022 season and is looking to return to Phoenix Raceway with a chance for a NASCAR Cup Series title. The current setup wasn’t going to cut it as Bell’s pit crew was ranked so low.
Now, the driver of the No. 20 car will have a pit crew that won the NASCAR Pit Crew Challenge at North Wilkesboro Speedway during All-Star Weekend. This is a major development for Bell and one to keep an eye on moving forward with the Round of 16 beginning at Darlington Raceway.
