With two of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates winning the first two races of the postseason, Bell is feeling the pressure. <\/p>\n<p>Christopher Bell won three races this season, but hasn\u2019t tasted victory since March. That\u2019s a long drought. Now, in the NASCAR Playoffs, Bell wants to perform. Right now, he\u2019s watching while his teammates celebrate race wins in back-to-back weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Things have not clicked for Bell and his team at a top level lately. The team has not had a top-five finish on an oval since Kansas. A lot of frustration came out of Bell as he finished the race and his team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/pro\/news\/full-results-2025-enjoy-illinois-300-world-wide-technology-raceway-gateway-order-of-finish\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">celebrated the P7 finish<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what we needed today. Take off the pressure next week. Good job guys,\u201d came over the radio from Adam Stevens. That set Bell off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just f***ing ran 7th with the best car on the track!\u201d Bell said, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/STaranto92\/status\/1964831383555281137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">via Steven Taranto of CBS Sports<\/a>. \u201cEvery f***ing week it\u2019s the same s**t! We\u2019re the last car to pit road! I\u2019m over it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Christopher Bell was not happy just taking the points and moving on to Bristol. He wants to win and he wants to win now. While his teammates continue to run great and have fast cars, Bell has struggled to finish races. <\/p>\n<p>We usually don\u2019t see this kind of fire from Bell. Clearly, the NASCAR Playoffs are putting the pressure on this 20 team. Will that translate into better results, or will this team continue to have issues that hold them back on the track?<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Bell has been in a slump<\/p>\n<p>While the Round of 16 is easier for a driver like Christopher Bell, average finishes and just collecting points won\u2019t get him to the Championship 4. Bell is a driver who has won in the playoffs before and done it under the toughest of circumstances. <\/p>\n<p>He knows that the pressure isn\u2019t necessarily about Bristol. It\u2019s about the Round of 12. It\u2019s about going to Kansas, New Hampshire, and the Roval and performing there. A couple of average or bad weeks and the 20 team could be out of the playoffs earlier than expected. <\/p>\n<p>If you are a Christopher Bell fan, this has to excite you. The driver isn\u2019t known for being over the top and screaming on the radio. He is quiet and mild-mannered for the most part. A silent assassin. Yesterday, he made it plain and clear to his team \u2013 things aren\u2019t working, so something has to change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite another top-10 finish in the NASCAR Playoffs, Christopher Bell was far from pleased as the race came&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129181,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-129180","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nascar","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
