With Christopher Bell's teammate retiring after this season, Chase Briscoe is the heavy favorite to replace him. Bell may have spoiled an announcement.
LOUDON, N.H. – D'oh. Throughout the year, many NASCAR Cup Series personnel moves are referred to by industry personnel as 'worst-kept secrets,' but Christopher Bell took it to a new level Friday afternoon at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. With Bell's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. retiring after this season, Chase Briscoe has been the driver mentioned as the heavy favorite to replace him. But JGR has yet to officially announce the signing of Briscoe.
As the reporters laughed, Bell had an exasperated look and tried not to laugh. He lowered the microphone and looked at some JGR personnel standing at another side of the room. He then tried to continue: 'Whenever some. Whenever. I don't know what to say. ... Whenever we have a new driver into the 19 car, whoever that is, their experience level will dictate how much input they have in the team.
