Christopher Bell was the driver to beat at Phoenix Raceway during the Shriners Children's 500. Beginning the race from the 11th position, Bell quickly showed that he had one of the top cars in the field as he made it all the way up to fourth at the end of stage one, scoring stage points. In the second stage, Bell took the lead on lap 94, and despite some challenges from William Byron and Joey Logano, he went on to win the second stage and earn more stage points. Bell would get challenged for the lead by several drivers during the final stage, but always ran towards the front, even through pit stops. The No. 20 Toyota driver was challenged by his teammate, Denny Hamlin, on the race's final restart. Hamlin nearly beat Bell as he kept the No. 20 side-by-side on the final corner, but the two made contact, and Bell barely edged Hamlin for the win in one of the closest finishes in Phoenix history. Bell won at Phoenix for the second time in his Cup career and won his third consecutive race of the 2025 season.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

After winning the previous drafting track race at Atlanta, Christopher Bell was unable to repeat the feat at Talladega after a hard crash on lap 52. Bell had driven from his 11th starting position to second behind Chase Briscoe for most of the first stage when the Toyotas worked together to drive from the field. The caution came out for a pit road crash after Bell had pitted but before many of the leaders did, allowing Bell to reinherit the second position after the drivers who stayed out pitted. Restarting alongside Chris Buescher, Bell received a bad bump draft from his teammate Denny Hamlin, which sent him into Buescher and then head on into the inside retaining wall. While this wreck would have likely caused a significant injury in the '90s, he was unhurt but dropped to 82 points behind the points leader William Byron for the regular season championship.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing will start 11th for Sunday's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. It will be the eighth time in his Cup career that he will start inside the top 15 at Talladega. In 10 previous starts at the Alabama track, Bell has three top-10 finishes, including his last appearance during the October 2024 Cup event, where he went on to place sixth. So far, after nine races this season, Bell has three wins, including Atlanta, another drafting-based track like Talladega, six top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 9.8. Bell's upside is lower compared to most drivers this week due to his starting position, but he is a solid performer at drafting tracks overall in his Cup career. As a result, Bell is worth consideration for tournament lineups only, especially due to his equipment, which is capable of placing in the top 10.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing placed eighth at the end of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. Starting the race from the seventh position, Bell's race was up and down, but he ran inside the top 10 throughout most of the event. In the first stage, Bell kept pace with the rest of the pack and only moved up one position to end the stage in sixth, scoring multiple stage points. In the second stage, Bell moved further up the pack and into the top five. The No. 20 Toyota driver ended the stage in the third position, gathering eight stage points and setting himself up to compete for a top finish. In the third stage, however, Bell fell back as others passed him, and despite some pit strategy by pitting earlier than the other leading drivers, he made it as far as the eighth position. Bell's finish in this week's race marks his fifth consecutive top-10 finish at Bristol and his sixth overall in this Cup career.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Look for Christopher Bell to be a contender at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. In the Next Gen era, Bell has the best average driver rating (122.4), best Average Running Position (4.4), and he has average 89.8 laps led per race since the introduction of his new car. In those four races, Bell has yet to finish worse than 10th, and in three of the events he came home in the top five. This weekend, the No. 20 Toyota will roll off the starting grid from seventh-place. In practice, Bell was a little slow out of the gate, but his lap times steadily improved over the course of the long run--which will be key to success on race day. On DraftKings, Bell is priced at $10,200 for this weekend's race. He makes for a very interesting and strong pivot option in tournaments, especially off of the drivers that should have significantly higher ownership percentages (such as Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson). --Jordan McAbee
