This will be Bonsignore’s debut in the Xfinity Series, and it’s coming in elite equipment. Joe Gibbs Racing has been very fast at New Hampshire in the past, and this year shouldn’t be any different. There shouldn’t be expectations for Bonsignore to win the event; however, a top-5 finish shouldn’t be out of the equation for the 36-year-old driver.
