He joined Joe Gibbs Racing in 2021 and has been with them ever since. The following year, he made his first Championship 4 appearance.Bell also has a shot at making the coveted championship round this year. During the 2025 Cup Series Playoffs Media Day, the Oklahoma native was asked about his biggest strengths and weaknesses.“I would say our biggest strength is road course racing, but there is a guy named Shane van Gisbergen that keeps taking that away," Bell laughed. "Road courses have been really good, so I’m optimistic about the ROVAL, and then obviously, short tracks, flat tracks – the Phoenix, Loudon, Gateway…”“We’ve been close and have been able to run well, but it just seems like we have been a little off on winning pace, but I say any week and it could change in any week, and we could go out and win any of those races,” he added.When asked about his weakness, Bell named Talladega. Well, Talladega is indeed a gamble, even for those who have been strong at the iconic track in the past. Marking the second race of the Round of 8, this year’s YellaWood 500 at Talladega is scheduled for October 19.
