During a news conference Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Bell – who drives the No. 20 Toyota at Joe Gibbs Racing – was asked about how a potential leadership vacuum at the organization would be filled next season after Martin Truex Jr. retires at the end of 2024.
Bell described the input by himself, teammates, Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs and then went on to say, “And whenever Chase comes into the car …” Bell then immediately broke into a smile and turned to his public relations representative and then laughed.
