Christopher Bell Expresses his Desire to Join Rival Kyle Larson’s New Dirt Racing Series

It is worth mentioning that Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell is a fierce rival of Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson. However, the battleground for their rivalry is not the NASCAR Cup Series asphalt. Instead, they have been dueling with each other on the dirt surfaces and their rivalry is pretty healthy.

Recently, Larson and fellow dirt racer Brad Sweet established a new dirt racing series. Now Bell was asked whether he would be interested in competing. He said, “Yeah, I mean, I think its really good for dirt track racing. To be able to race for more money. That’s one thing that’s been on the up and up over the last several years.”

“That’s really good and hopefully I’ll be able to make a couple of them, if not all of them.”

Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson are focusing on this weekend’s race

This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series paddock has touched down at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Bell is lining up fifth on the grid, with Larson in 8th place.

Without a doubt, the #20 driver will be eager to capitalize and snatch a first win of the season. Of course, there are many who are out there to stop him and stop the list of new winners from growing.

The #5 Hendrick Motorsports driver will be among them, as everyone battles to stay in Playoff contention.

The 27-year-old Christopher Bell from Oklahoma has one win under his belt. That maiden Cup Series triumph came last year at the Daytona International Speedway road course.

Now, the driver is aiming to add another feather in his cap, but it’s his teammate Martin Truex Jr that starts on pole. He lines up with Chase Elliott in second place, best among the Hendrick drivers.

Meanwhile, 23XI Racing duo Kurt Busch and Bubba Wallace lock out the second row, while Bell is alongside William Byron.
