NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell is ready to make his mark. He talked about why he slips under the radar among other popular drivers and wants to be his own person.
The 29-year-old has won three races this season at Phoenix, Charlotte, and New Hampshire. He finished second at the Charlotte Road Course last weekend and made it to the Round of 8. Bell is now second in the playoff standings, 13 points above the cut-line.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver feels he is often overlooked because of his quiet personality.
"I think I am often overlooked just because my personality is very quiet and reserved. I want to be known as one of the best racers of all time...You've got to win championships...I want to do it my own way and be my own person," Bell said via NASCAR.

Christopher Bell answers tricky question about the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
In an interview on NASCAR Inside the Playoffs, Christopher Bell played a trivia game.
Bell was asked a question about the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the "Rollin' the Trivia Dice," segment. He guessed there are five different tracks.
"Within the campus. Okay, so, uh, the short track, the dirt track, uh, the 4-mile, the big track— that's four. There might be a road course, so I'm going to say five, " Bell answered.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway actually has nine tracks: super speedway, drag strip, Bull Ring, dirt track, go-kart track, inside road course, outside road course, off-road course, and outside parking lot.
Christopher Bell has a total of nine Cup wins, with his most recent win in June at New Hampshire. He also has 19 wins in the Xfinity Series and won the 2017 Craftsman Truck Series championship.
