Christopher Bell is on a roll, and he’s eyeing a piece of NASCAR history. After securing three consecutive victories, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is one step away from doing something no one has accomplished in nearly two decades—winning four races in a row.
A Rare NASCAR Feat Within Reach for Christopher Bell
Winning back-to-back races in the NASCAR Cup Series is tough. Winning three? Even tougher. But four? That’s something only a select few have managed to pull off. Jimmie Johnson was the last driver to do it in 2007, during his dominant championship-winning season. Now, Bell has the chance to match that record at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Bell’s phenomenal streak began in Atlanta, followed by a win at COTA, and continued his momentum in Phoenix, where he took the checkered flag with a commanding performance. Now, with the Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the horizon, he knows he’s on the brink of something special.
“It’s hard to do,” Bell said when asked about trying to match Johnson’s accomplishment. “I acknowledge that. I’m just kind of in disbelief that I have that opportunity, but I’m looking forward to it.”
A Chance At Joining an Elite List of NASCAR Greats
Only a handful of drivers in NASCAR history have achieved four straight wins, including legends like Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Sr. Johnson’s streak in 2007 remains the most recent. Since then, countless drivers have tried but failed to match it, including Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, who have won three in a row twice.
If Bell can pull off the victory at Las Vegas, he won’t just be adding another trophy to his collection—he’ll be stamping his name alongside some of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen. More importantly, it would solidify him as a serious contender for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series championship.
Las Vegas is a challenging track, and Bell knows it won’t be easy. But if there’s one thing he’s proven over the last few weeks, he thrives under pressure. Fans will watch closely to see if he can make history and keep his winning streak alive.
Can Bell match Johnson’s legendary feat, or will Las Vegas be the track where his streak ends? The sportsbooks are backing him as DraftKings has Bell with the best odds of winning the race at +400. NASCAR fans won’t want to miss this one.
