Bell

Joe Gibbs Racing has picked up the option on Christopher Bell‘s contract for the 2020 season, but Bell admits that he doesn’t know where he’ll be racing next year.

“I’m good for another year," Bell said Friday at Chicagoland Speedway. “I don’t know what I’m going to be racing (Xfinity or Cup), but I will be somewhere."

Bell has won a series-high four Xfinity races this season and is second in the points to Tyler Reddick going into Saturday’s race.

Bell won the most recent Xfinity race, two weeks ago at Iowa Speedway. His other victories this season have been at Atlanta, Bristol and Dover.

His success has led to questions about where he’ll race next season. This is his second full season in the Xfinity Series. He’s won 12 of 55 career series starts (21.8%).
