While his season hasn't been as flashy as other championship contenders, Christopher Bell has quietly put himself in position to grab the title.
No disrespect to Christopher Bell, but if people had ranked the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers and their chances to win the 2023 Cup title when the playoffs started nine weeks ago, he likely would have ranked third out of the three who made NASCAR's version of the postseason. Martin Truex Jr. had won the regular-season title. Denny Hamlin had finished second. The veterans had combined for five victories. Bell had managed one win during the season, and that was on the Bristol dirt track.
'Taking a young guy like Christopher, for us to be in there two years in a row, it's just a huge deal, a huge accomplishment,' team owner Joe Gibbs said. 'The thing about Christopher is if you kind of notice what he's been able to do, when he kind of gets to a point where he kind of looks at the latter part of the season, knowing how crucial the races are, it's kind of where he steps up. He did it last year. He did the same thing again this year.
