While Christopher Bell still looks like he’s getting ready for that pesky, third-period geometry test, his youthful countenance – don’t you dare say baby-face – is, as many new and veteran drivers alike have found out first-hand, merely a mask.

Like Sun Tzu’s first lesson in The Art of War, Bell’s disarming smile and easy-going nature help deceive his adversaries, lulling them to think the JGR driver doesn’t pose a threat. Surely his success is just a fluke, right? But don’t be fooled into thinking anything other than the fact: the 30-year-old talent is every bit of a bona fide Championship contender. And with four wins already to his name in 2025, including three consecutive victories plus the All-Star race’s $1 million purse, he’s putting the rest of the NASCAR Cup Series on notice this year. 

Who is Christopher Bell? 

Born December 16, 1994, in Norman, Oklahoma, Bell felt an immediate magnetism to racing. At just three years old, he was captivated watching local speedsters burn rubber, and in two years, he was inquiring about technical racing elements – the kind of head-scratchers an older teenager or even an adult would ask, reports The Oklahoman. A year later, he was making a name for himself at I-44 Speedway, and before his 10th birthday, Bell was crisscrossing the Sooner State, fueled by an endless supply of his mom’s hotel nachos as he staked his claim on dirt tracks in Tulsa, Claremore, and Fort Cobb to name a few.

By the time he was 12, Bell had found his raison d’être and told his father that he planned to “race cars for a living.” Though easier said than done, getting his hands around the wheel of a midget car proved to be a lynchpin moment for Bell’s career because it paved the way for him to get recognized by Keith Kunz Motorsports. As his relationship crystalized with the Indiana-based outfit, he replaced current Cup Series superstar Kyle Larson, and his success there eventually led to him signing with Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2015 to race in the Craftsman Truck Series. Two years later, Bell took home the grand prize, winning the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Christopher Bell’s Xfinity and Cup Series history

Following his second of three consecutive Chili Bowl series wins in 2018, Bell made the leap into competing full-time in the Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing. After becoming the first driver to win three races in a row since Dale Earnhardt Jr. accomplished the feat in 1999, Bell went on to set the Xfinity Series rookie win record with six victories. Buoyed by strong performances, he made it to the championship but finished 11th, dropping him to fourth in points in his inaugural season.

Bell followed up that success by finishing third overall in the Xfinity Series in 2019, which provided Leavine Family Racing enough confidence to offer him a Cup Series car in 2020. His debut season yielded only two top-5 and seven top-10 finishes but, more importantly, he scored a new ride with Joe Gibbs Racing, driving the No. 20 for the former NFL Super Bowl-winning coach. That year, while still refining his calculated yet aggressive driving style, Bell became the first Oklahoma native to win in NASCAR’s top flight and just the 35th driver to score victories in all three main series.

No stranger to must-win situations, Bell’s heroics during the Charlotte Roval race in 2022 powered him to the Round of 8, and he advanced to the finale in Phoenix after another must-win victory at Martinsville. While he ultimately came up short in the high desert, he did finish third to mark a career best. 

Despite only scoring a pair of wins the subsequent year, Bell motored through the playoffs, narrowly winning at Homestead to punch his Championship 4 ticket. Still, a mechanical failure with his brakes derailed any dream of hosting the Bill France Cup at the end of the Phoenix finale that year. In 2024, he slightly improved by increasing his wins to four, but he again fell short of ultimate glory, finishing fifth in the overall standings. 

While “Must-Win” Bell is always a threat in the playoffs, his trifecta of consecutive wins this season and visible confidence after eclipsing Joey Logano in the final 10 laps of the 2025 All-Star race now have many wondering if this truly is the year he gets over the hump and the Christopher Bell Era begins.

What kind of car does Christopher Bell drive?

Christopher Bell currently drives the No. 20 Camry XSE for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) in the NASCAR Cup Series, and he competes part-time in the Xfinity Series, piloting the No. 19 Toyota GR Supra for JGR and the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing. 

Bell currently lives on the luxurious Lake Norman in Mooresville, North Carolina, with his wife of five years, Morgan. Though it’s unknown what sort of vehicular fleet awaits Bell when he returns from triumphing on the track, the Cup Series star does keep one very special ride inside his house: his winning car from his first Chili Bowl Championship.    

The NASCAR Cup Series makes it way to USA Network on August 3 with the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol. Coverage then shifts to NBC on August 23 for the Coke Zero Sugar 400. The remainder of the post-season will air on USA Network except for the final two playoff races and the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in Phoenix, Arizona, which will air on NBC.

“Without help this accident will be nearly impossible to recover from.”

It’s NASCAR weekend at Iowa Speedway in Newton. On Friday, the race weekend opened with the ARCA Menards Series.

Clubb Racing Inc with driver Alex Clubb chased a vibration in the race. They then cut a tire and went several laps down for repairs under green.

On the way home, the team suffered a highway accident. According to the team the driver of the teams dually truck fell asleep at the wheel.

The trailer flipped on Interstate 80 with the car inside. It was then struck by more than one semi as it was on its side.

The hauler, truck and racecar are all heavily damaged. The team estimates damage near $80,000.

Everyone involved in the accident has been reported as okay according to the team.

Clubb Racing is a small team based in Illinois. They have now setup a GoFundMe to help them return to the track.

Clubb Racing comments

“Really bad night coming home along I80 in Illinois,” Clubb Racing Inc stated via social media.

“Thankfully everyone involved is ok. Unfortunately most if not all of our equipment for the 03 is destroyed.”

“This morning around 1am one of our team members fell asleep while we were traveling back from the race at Iowa speedway.”

“Unfortunately in the accident our rig flipped and was stuck across the right east bound lane of I 80. Several semi trucks stuck our trailer causing further damage to everything.”

“Unfortunately our trailer and most of our equipment we travel with for race day is heavily damaged or destroyed.”

Team seeking help

The team has setup a GoFundMe page to help rebuild.

“Our car is heavily damaged because they were unable to rotate it at the scene. Our trailer with car was loaded onto a roll back on its side and transported around 30 minutes to the tow yard. Unfortunately we are stuck with a wrecked truck, destroyed trailer and equipment, a badly damaged race car, and a basically $8,000 tow bill.”

“To fix or replace everything that is messed up is probably $80,000. I’m very thankful that everyone is ok and nobody was injured.”

“I’m not one to ask for help but unfortunately we need it. We have worked so hard to get a decent program together and now half of that is gone. If you can help us I would greatly appreciate it.”

They concluded, “Without help this accident will be nearly impossible to recover from.”

Over $2K has already been raised of the $6K goal. Click here to view the GoFundMe page.

The next ARCA Menards Series race is schedule for next weekend at Watkins Glen International. Alex Clubb is 6th in ARCA standings with 1 top-10 in the 12 races so far.

Last week, Mike Harmon Racing also suffered from hauler issues en route to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In that situation, the team requested help from fans and was able to make it to Indianapolis.

NASCAR Rumors: Corey Day Headed for Full-Time Ride in 2026

Hendrick Motorsports is the best team in NASCAR and has played a key role in the development of some of the top drivers. As the company prepares for its future, it appears there’s a chance that Corey Day could land a huge opportunity next season.

On Saturday, nascarumornostalgia shared that they’ve heard Day will be driving the No. 17 car for Hendrick full-time next season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

HMS signed Day in January to a multiyear deal, giving him a chance to run a few races in Xfinity this season. Driving the No. 17 car, he got his first taste of the level in March at Martinsville Speedway, qualifying eighth. He raced fairly well, working his way back inside the top 10 after dropping to the middle of the pack, before contact damaged his car and he finished 21st.

Day later took home a 16th-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway in May and then delivered an 11th-place finish two races later at Nashville Superspeedway. He later placed 24th in the road course race at Sonoma Raceway and most recently placed 24th in the NASCAR Xfinity results at Iowa.

The 19-year-old has had more experience at the Truck Series level (11 races) and the ARCA Menards Series (five races). For now, Day remains a full-time driver at High Limit.

It would be a bit of a gamble for HMS considering Day still has limited experience in the Xfinity Series. He would be just 20 years old for his entire rookie season at the Xfinity level, competing against very experienced drivers (Justin Allgaier, Austin Hill, and Jeb Burton) in addition to top NASCAR prospects with significantly more Xfinity experience (Jesse Love, Carson Kvapil, and Nicholas Sanchez).

A better path for Day would seem to be becoming a full-time Truck Series driver in 2026, competing at a lower level where he has more experience and has demonstrated more success. Furthermore, the Truck level has lower stakes than the Xfinity level and there is less pressure to generate money.

Ultimately, Hendrick has plenty of time to decide where it will deploy Day next season. The 19-year-old has shown flashes this year that demonstrate why he’s one of the top prospects in the sport, but he might be better off developing in the Truck Series for a year before moving up to Xfinity.

Fornaroli leads Invicta Racing 1-2 in Hungary

Leonardo Fornaroli won his maiden FIA Formula 2 Feature Race victory, and in doing so led home an Invicta Racing one-two with his teammate Roman Stanek in second place.

The Championship leader managed the race expertly after being given a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane to take his third win of the season, as Jak Crawford rounded out the podium for DAMS Lucas Oil.

AS IT HAPPENED

A rolling start kicked things off as pole-sitter Stanek led his teammate Fornaroli and Crawford away, as the top 12 drivers maintain position on the first lap with the track slightly wet off-line.

Crawford had lost ground to the top two and on Lap 4 was coming under pressure from Luke Browning. The Hitech TGR driver looked to have taken the place, but he ran wide at Turn 2 allowing his rival back through.

Lap 6 of 37 and Amaury Cordeel pulled his Rodin Motorsport car over to the side of the road, bringing out the Virtual Safety Car.

Racing resumed on Lap 8, and Arvid Lindblad, the lead driver on the Medium tire, took two places at the opening two corners from Oliver Goethe and Joshua Duerksen to go to P5.

Lindblad’s Campos Racing teammate Josep María Martí lost two places to Gabriele Minì and Richard Verschoor at Turn 1 though, dropping the Spaniard to P11.

The Virtual Safety Car was signaled once again with Victor Martins stopping his ART Grand Prix on track at the exit of Turn 12.

Green flag conditions returned on Lap 11, and looking to get the jump on Lindblad, Goethe ran wide at Turn 12, dropping him to P8 behind Duerksen and Alexander Dunne.

Dunne and Duerksen then went wheel-to-wheel down the Main Straight, with the Irishman taking sixth from the AIX Racing driver, despite a lockup into Turn 2.

Campos then informed Lindblad that the Prime tire was quicker than the Options on Lap 13, and his teammate Martí showed that as he took back the two places he lost to Verschoor and Minì on the run to Turn 2. The Spaniard then overtook Goethe for P8 on the run to Turn 12.

The first set of Soft tire runners at the front then pitted, with Browning coming in from fourth, with Duerksen, Goethe and Minì all joining him in swapping to the Mediums.

Race leader Stanek and Crawford came in on Lap 15, with Fornaroli and Dunne following on the next lap. The Italian made the overcut work as he came back out ahead of his teammate.

Out in front, and yet to pit on the Medium tyres, Lindblad led Martí, with Verschoor in third, ahead of Dino Beganovic, Kush Maini, Cian Shields and Ritomo Miyata.

Fornaroli was in eighth, but only one second separated him and Stanek, who closed the gap on Lap 19. The Championship leader’s race then got more difficult when he was given a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pitlane.

Back at the front, Verschoor was the first of the alternative strategy runners to be called in on Lap 22, and he came back out just behind Goethe in P12.

Lindblad was in from the lead on Lap 23, with Martí in on the next lap, but both struggling to get their tyres up to temperature. They lost out to Verschoor, who had gotten up to P7. The Briton was now 10th, while his teammate fell through the field to P15.

On to Lap 27 of 37, Crawford closed to within 0.4s off Stanek. The American made a move at Turn 1 on the next lap, but locked up into the corner, allowing his rival to keep the position. Their battling allowed Fornaroli to escape up the road and by Lap 29, he was 4.9s clear.

Crawford was struggling behind Stanek now, and behind them Browning set a personal best time on Lap 33 to close to within 1.6s.

The fight for seventh then heated up as Beganovic pilled the pressure on Lindblad. The two went side-by-side through Turns 1 and 2 on Lap 34 and 35, as Goethe and Dunne started to join the fight.

Miyata finally pitted on the penultimate lap, promoting Stanek to second and Crawford to third.

Onto the last lap, Fornaroli was 7.2s clear out in front across the line to achieve his third win in as many weekends and his first FIA Formula 2 victory.

Stanek made it an Invicta one-two, with Crawford third, Browning fourth, Verschoor fifth, while Lindblad held of Beganovic to take P6. Goethe also fought off Dunne for P8 as Martí fought through to take the final point in P10.

KEY QUOTE – Leonardo Fornaroli, Invicta Racing

“What a race today. Finally, we managed to take a win in the Feature Race. It was a really stressful race especially at the end with the five second penalty, I had to stay in front by more than five seconds otherwise I was losing the win. But in the end, we didn’t have a Safety Car. Super happy about this race, now we go into the summer break, so some rest, but then we will be back for Monza.”

CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS

Leonardo Fornaroli, now on 154 points extends his lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship, with Jak Crawford up to second on 137 points. Richard Verschoor is down to third on 135, as Luke Browning goes up to fourth on 125 points, while Alexander Dunne rounds out the top five on 124.

In the Teams’ Standings, Invicta Racing continue to lead the way with 231 points, as Campos Racing maintain second on 189, with Hitech TGR third on 183. DAMS Lucas Oil are fourth on 163 points, as MP Motorsport round out the top five on 158.

MLB Speedway Classic Between Braves, Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway Resumes

A record crowd for a regular-season Major League Baseball game got to see all the pomp and pageantry of the MLB Speedway Classic before the rain washed out the game itself in the bottom of the first inning.

Fans returning Sunday only wanted to watch the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds play ball. Sunday was dry at Bristol Motor Speedway even with overcast skies.

This MLB Speedway Classic was first announced nearly a year ago as part of Commissioner Rob Manfred’s push to take MLB to places where baseball isn’t played every day live. MLB played a game at the “Field of Dreams” movie site in Iowa in both 2021 and 2022. Alabama and North Carolina, too.

MLB didn’t try to sell every ticket inside the speedway that drew 156,990 for the Battle of Bristol college football game in 2016. The track, with a racing capacity of 146,000, meant the final attendance number could reach 90,000 or more even with sections blocked off.

The previous paid attendance of 84,587 was set on September 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees.

Simply canceling this game wasn’t an option. The Reds are in the chase for a wild-card spot, and this is the last time these teams meet this season. Teams had police escorts to make sure they got back to Bristol on Sunday.

For fans, the commute back to Bristol Motor Speedway, billed as “The Last Great Colosseum” with its history as a half-mile bullring of a racetrack, was easier for some than others.

MLB will be announcing an attendance figure later Sunday. Officials already knew this event would draw a record crowd with 85,000 tickets sold as of Monday.

The big question Sunday was how many people would return for baseball itself after the big party that MLB and Bristol threw for fans Saturday. 

Fans had plenty of room to spread out, dance and enjoy the capping event of the MLB Speedway Classic.

Bruno Ribeiro took his third win of the 2025 Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) season in the opening round of the New Jersey Lottery SpeedTour weekend. In a wild race filled with obstacles and challenges for championship contenders, Ribeiro (No. 01 Alfa Cem / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) rose to the top to increase his lead in the standings.

With Ribeiro in second, Jett Bowling (No. 22 Bullhorn / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) led the field down the starting grid at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP). From the instant the lights went out, fourth-place starter Nicolas Ambiado (No. 55 Velox USA / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) looked to make forward progress. Reaching the rear wing of Ribeiro’s machine as they raced through Turn 5, the two made contact, which sent Ribeiro off track and allowed Ambiado to sneak by. From there, Ambiado turned his focus to Bowling, making the pass to take the lead with just over 18 minutes left on the clock.

After that, it turned into a race of attrition, as Bowling came down pit road mid-race due to a mechanical issue, losing two laps the field. Then, a late-race caution gave the field another chance at a restart, but with Titus Sherlock (No. 31 Rayne Nutrition / Ronald McDonald House Charities / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) suffering a gearbox issue on the start, competitors were sent scrambling down the front straight. As they took the checkered flag, Ambiado led the way, with Ribeiro in second and Jake Pollack (No. 5 The NRP Group / Foreview Ventures / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) in third.

Following the event, the stewards issued Ambiado a penalty for causing a collision. The drive-thru penalty was converted to a 30-second time penalty, which dropped him to fifth in the final results. Ribeiro inherited the race win, while Pollack was scored second and Sherlock was promoted to the third and final podium position.
