Christopher Bell’s NASCAR regular season title hopes are fading fast as he admits to “losing ground” in the championship race. The Joe Gibbs Racing star, who started the 2025 season on fire with three consecutive wins, has hit a rough patch with disappointing finishes in recent races.
Bell, who sits in P3 in the overall standings, expressed his concerns about the team’s performance, particularly in earning crucial stage points to stay competitive. With 14 races left before the playoffs, Bell acknowledges the uphill battle he faces to catch up to frontrunners Kyle Larson and William Byron.
Despite his realistic outlook, Bell remains determined to turn the tide and climb back up the standings. He emphasized the importance of qualifying and stage points in NASCAR’s high-stakes environment, where every detail counts towards championship contention.
As Bell gears up for the upcoming All-Star race with its lucrative $1 million prize, he highlighted the race’s intensity and aggressive nature compared to regular Cup races. The driver emphasized the win-it-or-wear-it attitude among competitors, setting the stage for a thrilling and action-packed event.
With the All-Star race on the horizon, Bell is focused on delivering a strong performance and harnessing the momentum for the upcoming Coca-Cola 600 race. The JGR driver will look to defend his previous victory and showcase his competitive spirit on the track.
