Christopher Bell is the name on everyone’s lips as the Cup Garage enters the Round of 12. Last week at Bristol, amid swelling chaos, 14 cautions due to brutal tire wear, and Bell staying calm, he nailed a late restart and edged out Brad Keselowski to end his 24-race winless streak. It was his fourth win of the season, and it completed a clean sweep for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Round of 16. What is more, Christopher Bell owns New Hampshire almost as much as he does the spotlight. With an amazing track record, he often said that the track just clicks for him. Can the same narrative then prove true this weekend?
Since the Next-Gen car arrived, three races have been run, and Bell has crossed the finish line first in two of them (2022 and 2024), with Martin Truex Jr. sneaking a win in 2023. JGR
