NASCAR Cup star Christopher Bell has decided to withdraw from the upcoming Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond following the postponement of the event. Bell was scheduled to race the No. 62 Halmar-Frisen Racing Toyota, having qualified 17th for the event. Instead, Leland Honeyman Jr. will take over as the driver of the No. 62 truck, meaning he will start from the back of the field.
Honeyman Jr., who has competed in NASCAR O Reilly Series races, will make his second NASCAR Cup Truck start of the 2026 season. This will be Bell's second Truck race of the year, with his first win coming earlier this year at Bristol. He remains on track to compete at New Hampshire Motor Speedway next weekend.
