\u201cWe\u2019re so pleased to have Matt back.\u201d said team owner BJ McLeod. \u201cHe showed an impressive amount of speed last season and took a big step forward both on and off the track. \u00a0I am really looking forward to Daytona in a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mills, a New Philadelphia, Ohio native, grew up racing on the short tracks of Ohio, before making his NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series debut in 2016 with SS Green Light Racing at Bristol Motor Speedway.

\u201cIt certainly has been a journey and I\u2019m thrilled to be back in the No. 5 J.F. Electric, Utilitra, Thompson Electric entry for BJ McLeod Motorsports again this season, \u201csaid Mills. \u201cWe had a super solid season last year, and even scored a top-10 finish at Daytona in July. This season our expectations are increased but the goal remains the same; complete laps, learn, and improve each and every week. I can\u2019t thank J.F. Electric and Thompson Electric enough for their continued support and I\u2019m also super excited to welcome Utilitra to the team this year, we\u2019re going to have a lot of fun!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mills will begin his sophomore campaign on Saturday, February 15, 2020 when the NXS hits the track for the NASCAR Racing Experience 300 at Daytona International Raceway at 2:30 p.m. ET on FS1 and MRN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
