Jimmie Johnson has texted Christopher Bell after his 3 victories this season. Bell wants a 4th text

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Christopher Bell sometimes can’t believe seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson even knows Bell exists. That is so cool.” Bell’s three straight wins is the Cup Series’ longest winning streak since Kyle Larson won three in a row twice in 2021, and Bell is the first to do it in NASCAR’s Next Gen car, which was introduced in 2022. Who has won four races in a row before? Bell’s three wins this year tie his career-high victory tallies set in 2022 and matched in 2024, and breaking his season-best mark isn’t out of the question at Las Vegas, where he has five career top-10 finishes in 10 starts and three poles. It’s not that Gibbs won’t let him race the night before a Cup Series event — JGR teammate Ty Gibbs still plans to compete in Larson’s race — but Bell and crew chief Adam Stevens came to a “mutual decision” to not run on Saturdays.
