Christopher Bell

After setting the record for wins by a rookie driver early in the fall, Christopher Bell will look to become the second rookie in a row to capture the championship on Saturday afternoon. He’s been victorious six times this season and his Joe Gibbs Racing team appears to be the favorite for the crown.

Bell was faced with a must-win situation last weekend at ISM Raceway and rose to the occasion, leading 94 of 200 laps and emphatically punching his ticket to the championship race. If he can replicate that kind of performance at Homestead, it’s hard to see anyone else topping him for the title.
