Busch is well known in NASCAR circles for his straightforward demeanor.

Bell asked Stevens to expect something totally different from him as he will be a lot more “soft-spoken”.

How Christopher Bell promises to be different from Kyle Busch

“Our first meeting that we had together, I said, ‘Well, I can promise you that I’m going to be a change of pace from Kyle because my demeanor inside the car is a lot different than what Kyle’s is,’ ” Bell said during an interview.

“I can promise you that Christopher Bell is going to be a lot different than what Kyle Busch was,” the youngster further said, as he builds a new relationship with Stevens.

Bell feels ‘pit stops’ are where he can considerably benefit with the new team at JGR. Back at Leavine Family Racing, Bell felt he seriously could run up-front more often than not. However, that did not happen.

New team, better resources for Bell

He looked back at the Richmond race this past season and gave an example of the same, through an incident that included Kyle Busch.

“Kyle (Busch) had to start in the back with me and we started side-by-side. And by the competition yellow, I passed 10 cars and Kyle passed 10 cars. And then we come down pit road and he’s five cars up and I’m five cars back,” Bell said.
