LAS VEGAS — Understandably, much of the focus during NASCAR’s tripleheader weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will fall squarely on Christopher Bell.
The driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota will become the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four straight NASCAR Cup Series races, if he’s first to the finish line in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube (3:30 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

PHOENIX — From Christopher Bell’s remarkable third consecutive win of 2025 to the successful season debut of the option tire and a historic start for Katherine Legge—who became only the eighth woman to compete in NASCAR’s top level in more than 50 years—last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway was a pivotal early-season highlight.
And the reviews are positive.
With Three Straight Wins in Season’s First Four Races, the Interstate Batteries Driver Has the Hot Hand To Score a Long-Sought Victory at Las Vegas and Bolster his Title Run
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (March 10, 2025) – We’re just four races into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season and Christopher Bell has already proven to be outrageously dependable.
The driver of the No. 20 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry XSE for Joe Gibbs Racing has won the last three Cup Series races, becoming the first driver to three-peat since Kyle Larson pulled the hat trick in 2021. More importantly, it’s put Bell in the enviable position of locking up his spot in the 16-driver playoff field five months and 22 races before NASCAR’s version of the post-season starts Aug. 31 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Christopher Bell prevailed in a dramatic side-by-side finish with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin — the second-closest finish in Phoenix Raceway history — to earn Bell his third consecutive NASCAR Cup Series victory this season, a record in the sport’s Next Gen Car era.
Bell’s No. 20 JGR Toyota went high alongside Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota as the two cars dueled it out in the final two corners of a two-lap shootout on the one-mile speedway. The 30-year-old Oklahoman claimed the historic win by a mere .049 seconds, marking his second straight victory in this spring race at Phoenix. (more…)

HAMPTON, Ga. – Christopher Bell prevailed in overtime to claim the victory in Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway – officially leading only the final lap and getting the photo nod in a three-wide run as a caution flag came out on the last lap to end the NASCAR Cup Series race.
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 7, 2025) – The easiest pre-season NASCAR Cup Series prognostication is that Christopher Bell will win races and contend for the championship. With victories in each of his last four seasons and subsequent playoff appearances, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is proving to be outrageously dependable, just like his co-primary partner for the Daytona 500, Interstate Batteries.
