Christopher Bell is seeking to become the first person since 2007 to win four consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races, and he recently spoke with the last driver to successfully accomplish the impressive feat – seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson.
“It is still the coolest thing in the world to me that I have Jimmie Johnson in my phone,” said Bell during a media availability over the weekend. “He has talked to me. He has sent me a text message after every win so far. I’m still shocked every time I see his name pop up. I respect the heck out of him. It’s an honor to know that he thinks of me after the race to send a text message. That is so cool. We have connected, yes.”
