Christopher Bell claims 2024 JGR Toyota Camry is the ‘best car he has ever had’
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

The 2024 season so far has been dominated by two teams, Chevy’s Hendrick Motorsports and Toyota’s Joe Gibbs Racing. They combined have won six out of the seven races so far this year, with each having three victory lane visits. William Byron (2 wins) and Kyle Larson (1 win) scored the wins for HMS. While Denny Hamlin (2 wins) and Christopher Bell (1 win) secured triumphs of JGR.

Now Christopher Bell, who scored the first win of the season for JGR, has pointed out that the current TRD cars he has now are the best ever he has racer in. The 29-year-old pointed out that the competitive nature of the Camry’s has helped all three of his teammates to perform on exceptionally high level.

Absolutely. This is by far the best cars that I've ever had since I've been in the Cup Series. And [teammate] Ty [Gibbs] has taken a huge step this year. He's performing really well and then with Danny [Hamlin] and Martin [Truex Jr.], they're going to be good week-in and week-out. Right now, I'm fourth in points out of the JGR cars but we're all four running exceptional right now. Christopher Bell told Fox Sports.

His performance so far this year has not only helped Bell to score points but has also helped the star driver to attract more fans towards him. Him featuring in the NASCAR: Full Speed docu-series and now performing this season has helped him to get out of the shadows of his JGR teammates Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr.

Christopher Bell is going race on the hardest track ever this week

On the same interview with Bob Pockrass, Bell addressed the upcoming Cook Out 400 at Martinsville. Despite winning a race there in 2022, he feels it is one of the hardest tracks for him as there is no margin for error and pointed out that he would be hoping to cope with challenge to triumph yet again.

Martinsville is unique. It's something else because even to this day, I feel like it's one of my harder racetracks for me to do well at. We've had good results there, but all it takes is a little thing to go wrong, and you're in for a rough day…The win in 2022 was certainly a highlight of my life and career. I'd love to duplicate that again. Christopher Bell said.

The No:20 Camry driver is going into next-week with a cautious approach. He would have the car to win the race, considering the recent form of JGR. His potential success on Sunday would depend upon how much he can execute on the track. A second win will give the team a lot of confidence and momentum for the reminder of the season.
