Unveiling the Rise of Christopher Bell: A NASCAR Star’s Journey Through Trials and Triumphs

Talent, speed, and a top-tier team are crucial elements that fuel the confidence of any professional NASCAR driver. However, in the high-stakes world of the NASCAR Cup Series, a reliable sponsor can make all the difference. Christopher Bell, the rising star of Joe Gibbs Racing, knows this firsthand, as he navigates the challenging landscape of NASCAR sponsorships with finesse and determination.

With the departure of veteran driver Martin Truex Jr., Bell has stepped into a more prominent role within his team. Regarded as one of the best drivers under Coach Gibbs’s tutelage, Bell has emerged as a top contender for the championship, alongside teammate Denny Hamlin. His presence in the sport has grown significantly, earning him respect from his peers and the media alike.

A pivotal moment in Bell’s career came after a controversial penalty decision in Martinsville in 2024, which cost him a coveted playoff spot. Reflecting on this incident, Bell credits his team and sponsors for instilling in him the confidence and support needed to navigate the cutthroat world of NASCAR. In a recent interview, he emphasized the importance of sponsor relationships, highlighting the pressure drivers face to perform both on and off the track.

Bell’s journey to success has not been without its challenges. Adapting to the demands of his No. 20 Toyota Camry XSE took time, but once he found his stride and the assurance that his sponsors had his back, he embraced a newfound sense of freedom in expressing his thoughts and opinions. No longer constrained by fear of losing sponsorship, Bell’s authenticity and candor have set him apart in the competitive NASCAR landscape.

The Martinsville setback served as a turning point for Bell, showcasing his resilience and composure in the face of adversity. Despite the disappointment of missing out on the Championship 4, his handling of the situation garnered admiration from NASCAR officials and fans alike. Bell’s ability to rise above setbacks and stay true to himself has solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in the world of NASCAR.

As Christopher Bell continues to carve his path to greatness, his journey serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit and determination of a true NASCAR champion in the making.

DRAG & DRIFT: Weekend motorsports action in Richmond County

Staff Report ROCKINGHAM — The sounds of screeching tires and roaring engines will be heard on both sides of U.S. 1 this weekend with events at both Rockingham Dragway and Rockingham Speedway.

Staff Report

ROCKINGHAM — The sounds of screeching tires and roaring engines will be heard on both sides of U.S. 1 this weekend with events at both Rockingham Dragway and Rockingham Speedway.

Dig or Die returns to the dragway for overnight no-prep action, with drivers lining up on the back side of the track and racing toward the tower.

No-prep racing is a throwback to drag racing’s roots in the ‘50s and ‘60s with “no special attention given to the racing surface,” according to a 2022 press release from the track.

Local business Full Custom Fabrication and Performance is hosting a racer appreciation party Thursday night, including limo rides for the drivers from and back to the track.

Racing starts at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.

Dig or Die has one more event this season, Christmas Clash 6, scheduled for Dec. 5-6, which is the last race on the dragway’s schedule for the year.

Earlier this week, Rockingham Dragway announced a new policy in response to the theft of electric scooters at recent events.

Spectators will be:

  • asked to show scooters on gate entry to staff
  • asked to sign a form next to their name with scooter count.
  • asked to take pictures of their scooter(s) on entry for record.
  • responsible for their property, but the track will assist in gate management of scooter charged $5 per scooter on entry until further notice 

Every vehicle and trailer exiting the gate will be checked and if the scooter count doesn’t match, spectators will be referred to on-site deputies.

“We apologize for any delay on entry and exit that this will create but we cannot ignore the issue,” reads the post on the track’s Facebook page. “We are extremely disappointed to even have to address this in such an invasive manner.

“If this procedure proves to be ineffective, we will disallow all scooters at Rockingham Dragway. Please help us … prevent theft. We will not allow a few thieves to ruin our reputation and your visit. We want you, our customer, to feel protected and safe.”

DRIFT VIBES

MB Drift, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will be at the speedway for its Summer Matsuri.

The grassroots series started in 2005 as a safe and legal way for drivers to drift and ran for 15 years at Myrtle Beach Speedway. When that track closed down in late 2020, the series was moved to the Rock.

Organizers have designed nine layouts on the infield road course for the two-day event, including classics like the “Initiation,” the “Chute” and the No. 3-shaped “Dale Lane” —named in honor of the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. — as well as the new “Continental Drift” and an unrevealed “mystery layout.”

Like the Spring Matsuri and Halloween Havoc, the Summer Matsuri is a non-competitive event that gives drivers ample seat time and opportunities to hone their drifting skills, with night drifting on Saturday.

The event also includes drift games, a crazy shirt contest and music from the band Live Wire. Free ride-alongs are available for spectators 18 or older.

RO file photo


The track goes hot at 1 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday.

MB Drift still has two other events lined up for the 2025 season: the third and final round of competition Aug. 30-31; and Halloween Havoc Oct. 25-26.

Garage 66 will compete in the upcoming Brickyard 400 at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Josh Bilicki behind the wheel of the team’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the NASCAR Cup Series crown jewel event.

On Thursday, Garage 66 revealed that Sherfick Companies, a central-Indiana-based commercial and residential construction company, will serve as the primary sponsorship partner for the effort.

Bilicki, who has earned four top-10 finishes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series ranks throughout a 119-race career, is amped to compete at the Brickyard as he is set to contest his fourth NASCAR Cup Series event of the 2025 season.

“I am excited to be back at the Brickyard with Sherfick Companies and Garage 66,”
said Bilicki. “Sherfick has been a great partner, and racing at Indianapolis is
always special. We’re looking to build on our momentum from Chicago and put
together another strong performance for the team and our partners.”

The 30-year-old racer has competed in the Brickyard 400 twice before (2019 and 2020), and has a career-best finish of 25th in the iconic event. Bilicki hopes to notch a career-best run at a track, where Garage 66 (formerly known as MBM Motorsports) secured its all-time best NASCAR Cup Series finish of 14th with Timmy Hill back in 2017.

For Sherfick Companies, it’s special to be partnered with the racer and Garage 66 for the marquee event.

“It’s an incredible honor to be a part of one of the most iconic races in the country,
right here in our backyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Partnering with Josh
Bilicki and the hardworking team at Garage 66 are a perfect alignment of passion, grit,
and commitment to excellence—values we live by at Sherfick Companies every day,” Michael Sherfick, the founder of Sherfick Companies, said. “We’re not just sponsoring a car, we’re showing up for our city,
our state, and a sport that brings people together. This is about pride, perseverance,
and racing toward what’s possible.”

The NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is set for Sunday, July 27, and will be televised on TNT Sports. The television coverage of the event will kick off at 2 PM ET. IMS Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio will provide the radio broadcast of the event.

This August, the hills of Monterey will echo with the unmistakable scream of historic V12 engines as WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca hosts an unprecedented celebration for the 75th anniversary of Formula 1.

The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, one of the most prestigious vintage racing events in the world, will become a full sensory immersion into F1’s rich history.

From August 13-16, fans will have a rare opportunity to see, hear, and get up close with some of the most iconic machines that have ever graced the globe’s most famous circuits.

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

The on-track action promises to be a major highlight. A grid of 25 authentic F1 cars from the fan-favorite 1966-1985 non-turbo era will compete daily for the Mario Andretti Trophy.

This moving museum will bring legendary names like Tyrrell, Williams, Ferrari, Lotus, and Brabham back to life, allowing spectators to experience the raw power and glorious engine notes that defined a generation of Grand Prix racing.

Beyond the track, the event will feature an incredible exhibition of more than 30 rarely seen historic F1 cars, sourced from world-renowned museums and exclusive private collections. For many of these cars, it will be the first time they have ever been displayed together in one place.

The collection will span nearly the entire history of the sport, from a classic 1956 Maserati 250F and the iconic 1966 Eagle Mk1 to modern marvels like the 2024 World Constructors’ Championship-winning McLaren MCL38, as driven by Lando Norris.

“It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see this jaw-dropping collection of cars and F1 history,” said Mel Harder, president of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. F1’s Chief Commercial Officer, Emily Prazer, also added, “This is a fitting commemoration of 75 incredible years of Formula 1.”

The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion has always been a premier showcase for authentic race cars, but this year’s official F1 celebration promises something truly special. For motorsport fans, it will be a rare chance to walk through 75 years of technological evolution and witness the machines that created legends, all in one iconic American location.

HARLAN – A beautiful race night on a very warm Tuesday in July. All I can say is Wow the ground pounding Lucas Oil Late Models and the Sorensen Equipment IMCA Late Models put on a unbelievable show. A huge crowd of patrons watched the action on the Hi Banks of SCS. And if you were a lukewarm racing fan who attended, after tonight you are now converted into a hard-core fan.

Thirty-eight Lucas Oil Super Lates were checked in. As well as 26 Sorensen Equipment Late Models that provided a fun and fast evening of entertainment.

In The IMCA portion of the night three heats were on tap. And those winners were. Curtis Glover in the first heat, second heat Brandon Baker took the checkers, and Jesse Sobbing won the third heat. In the “B” Feature Zach Zeitner took the win over Drew Baker and Mike Collins. In the A feature, back in action was Jack Hearty who came from the fourth starting spot and looked good winning since his early season accident. A charging Nick Deal finished in second place; Jake Bridge finished in the third spot fourth to Micah Brown and Sam Halstead from Mt. Pleasant finished in the fifth spot. Congratulations to Jack on the win and happy you are back in action.

Then in the Lucas Oil Super Late Models. Group A qualifying, Hudson O’Neal had quick time ar 13.400 and in Group B it was Johnathan Davenport with a time of 13.494. In heat race action number one Garrett Alberson captured the win. In the second heat Blair Nothdurft was the winner, 2rd heat was taken by Jonathan Davenport and in the fourth heat Dennis Erb Jr. was the winner. Then their were 2 B features to round out the A Feature lineup. Ethan Dotson picked up the first B main. In the second B Derrick Stewart was the winner. In the 53 Lap Kosiski 53. With $25,053 on the line action was hot and heavy and kept the fans on the edge of their seats. After taking the green Jonathan Davenport took the early lead and looked like he had it all but won. But 53 laps is a long race. But as things progressed in turned in to a back-and-forth exchange of the lead between Davenport Ricky Thornton Jr. Brandon Sheppard and Bobby Peirce. Soon Davenport faded and Peirce and Thorton were dualling with Sheppard closing in. Peirce ended up putting the $25,053 first place money in his pocket with Brandon Sheppard getting second place, Ricky Thornton Jr. in third Hudson O’Neal finished in fourth and Davenport ended up in fifth place. What a show! Wow!

This weekend is MAHLE night at SCS and we are having our Guns n Hoses event at intermission. In support of the First Responders Foundation. We may have a pony tail cut if enough donated to the First Responders Foundation. The goal is $5800 to see Josh Minnehan lose his pony tail. Be in Harlan this Saturday, July 19.
