Star driver Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing has set the NASCAR world on fire with his recent win at the All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. Bell, who secured his first All-Star victory, is now advocating for North Wilkesboro to become a point-paying race on the NASCAR schedule.
After an intense battle with defending Cup champion Joey Logano, Bell emerged victorious, showcasing his skill and determination on the track. In a post-race interview, Bell expressed his admiration for the 0.6-mile track, hailing it as the best short track on the schedule and calling for it to host a points race in the future.
Bell’s sentiments were echoed by 2012 Cup champion Brad Keselowski, who urged NASCAR to make the necessary changes to incorporate North Wilkesboro into the Cup series. Keselowski proposed moving the All-Star race to Charlotte to accommodate North Wilkesboro, emphasizing the track’s significance in the racing world.
The victory at North Wilkesboro was a significant achievement for Joe Gibbs Racing, with Bell’s No. 20 team outperforming strong competitors like Logano, Ryan Blaney, and Chase Elliott.

Looking ahead, Bell and his team are carrying a wave of positive momentum into the upcoming race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. With aspirations of clinching his fifth win of the season, Bell remains focused on achieving success beyond just the All-Star race, emphasizing the importance of victories in the playoffs.
As the NASCAR season unfolds, all eyes will be on Christopher Bell as he continues to make waves on the track and push for North Wilkesboro to become a permanent fixture on the NASCAR calendar.
