Christopher Bell has been on fire in the NASCAR Cup Series, securing three straight victories and putting himself on the brink of history. As the series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Bell has the opportunity to do something no driver has accomplished since Jimmie Johnson in 2007—win four consecutive races.
A Rare Feat in NASCAR History
Winning three straight races is impressive, but four in a row is exceptionally rare in NASCAR’s modern era. The last driver to achieve this was Jimmie Johnson, who dominated in 2007 on his way to a championship-winning season.
Before Johnson, only a handful of legends—such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, and Richard Petty—have managed such a streak. If Bell can pull it off, he will join elite company in the sport’s history books.
Bell’s Hot Streak
Bell’s surge has been nothing short of spectacular. His recent wins have showcased:
- Speed: His Toyota has been consistently fast across different track types.
- Strategy: Smart pit calls and adjustments have helped him stay ahead.
- Resilience: Even when facing adversity, Bell has found ways to close out races.
Now, he heads to Las Vegas, a 1.5-mile intermediate track where he has run well before. While Bell has yet to win at this venue in the Cup Series, he does have an Xfinity Series victory there from 2019, proving he knows how to handle the track.
Challenges at Las Vegas
Winning four straight won’t be easy. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is known for its high speeds, changing track conditions, and tire wear—all factors that will test Bell’s team. Plus, the competition will be fierce, with Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., and William Byron all looking to break his streak.
Can Bell Make History?
Bell has momentum on his side, but Las Vegas will be a true test of whether he can match Jimmie Johnson’s legendary run from 2007. If he wins, it could mark the defining moment of his 2024 season—and put him on the fast track to championship contention.
All eyes will be on the No. 20 Toyota this weekend. Will Christopher Bell keep rolling the dice and come out on top? NASCAR history is on the line.
