After driving for Leavine Family Racing for his NASCAR Cup Series rookie campaign in 2020, Christopher Bell made the move back to Joe Gibbs Racing for his sophomore season.
It didn’t take Bell very long to go to Victory Lane since taking over the No. 20 Toyota as he scored his first career win in race number two of 2021 at the Daytona Road Course.
A product of Toyota’s driver development program, Bell finished third in second season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2019 where he scored a series-leading eight wins.
In 2018, Bell set the rookie single season Xfinity Series wins record with seven victories and advanced to the Championship 4, ultimately finishing fourth.
Two years after making his first start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Iowa Speedway, Bell won the series championship in 2017 after claiming five wins and 21 top 10s. All of Bell’s truck starts to date (54) have come with Kyle Busch Motorsports.
Bell, who began his career racing sprint and midget cars, won the Chili Bowl Nationals for the third consecutive year in 2019.
His transition to pavement came in 2014 while running Late Models for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Additional highlights early in his stock car career came in 2016 in the ARCA Series when he led a race-high 91 laps, including the final 44, of the 200-lap event at Salem Speedway en route to victory in his first-career start. He made it a sweep at the Indiana track with the victory in the September event.
In 2014, Bell collected 27 feature wins while competing in 108 events between Midgets (18), Winged Sprint Cars (seven), Non-Winged Sprint Cars (one) and Super Late Models (one). Bell captured the 2013 United States Auto Club National Midget championship and was named USAC Midget Rookie of the Year.
