I think he’ll be saved by Truex (maybe) retiring. But it wouldn’t shock me if the treat him just like Kenseth and Jones

23XI was started partly to make room for 'Yota drivers beyond the 20 car. I doubt he'd get straight-up booted. There's room for both of them now.

@@danielwest9955 bell probably ends up in the 45 and becomes bubba's longterm teamate and 23xi's 1-2 punch

@@dom.rockchalkjayhawk.8990 i mean, theres only two numbers in 23xi, so kurt and bubba only have the numbers. so bell prolly haven plenty of tme

@@Crustychevrolet I don't think they'd boot Kyle. He's been their franchise driver since 2008

No joke, when was the last time a rookie was truly impressive

Same thing happened to Byron, and look at him now

In that aspect yes, but Byron has been much more consistent through the season, he was the third best Hendrick car above the 48 in stats and if it’s not for a lot of bad luck he would have been in the round of 8 on speed

@@santiagogana9300 It just seems to me as if everyone doubts Christopher Bell. Like literally everywhere I go, I see the same thing. Nobody has any faith in him. Well it's no surprise really. Bell is a Gibbs/Toyota driver. And we all know how the majority of NASCAR'S fanbase feels about them. Christopher basically has had a target on his back from day 1.

@@slysupersonic i have really strong hopes for him to win multiple times next season, this year has been pretty good and seeing how other youngsters first season’s have been it’s even better. He has a 2 Time Crew Chief, great equipment and talent to establish at JGR

Except that Jones had more top 5's and top 10's in 2020 than Bell has had this year. And the playoff format isn't an indicator of skill at all but just pure luck.

@@dibslin2.081 You could say that about many of the champions that have been crowned since 2004. What's your point? You sound like your just mad because someone made it when you felt they didn't deserve to. I know Nascar's current points system sucks but you know the old saying: you win with what you got. Eric had just as much if not more of an opportunity to get past the round of 16 but he didn't. Christopher Bell had the same opportunity for only 1 year and he did it. Hell he would've made the round of 8 if he didn't use up all his play-off points at Talladega. Those extra points could've shielded him from getting eliminated in the round of 12. Remember he finish the season with 4 top 10s and 2 top 5s. If he wouldn't have been eliminated he might have made the championship 4.

That won't last long tho. We all know it.

I think they have spire

@@acemoneymaker8242 I didn't mean u of course

Statistically he was. Bell took that 20 car a lot farther than Jones did. Christopher Bell only had 1 season in the 20 car compared to Erik Jones's 3. But yet Bell's lone year was better than any of Jones's years. Christopher Bell is by extent the Joe Gibbs Racing equivalent to Hendrick Motorsports's William Bryon.

@@slysupersonic true but let's give Erik Jones credit he did pretty good in that car honestly I think he's incredibly underrated as a driver talent I think people don't look at him that much but he's pretty underrated a few top tens a few top five that is great like he's actually pretty talented.

@@MoltenRage41 of course! I loved and still love Jones a lot. I was secretly hoping that Richard Petty Motorsports would switch to Toyota so Eric could comeback into the JGR/Toyota fold.

@@slysupersonic same

@@JRVideo22 I don't agree at all with anything just said. I guess we will have to agree to disagree then. But NRF was right about 1 thing. Bell was handed a bad situation from the start of the season but he made something good out of it. The #20 team as a whole has had a massive problem since 2017. The last year with Matt Kenseth as the driver. Blowing up the team and rebuilding it with Bell and Stevens leading the way was the best move Joe Gibbs could've done. It was clear that what Eric Jones got was the leftovers from the Matt Kenseth era. This reset might just be the kick in the ass the 20 team so badly needed. May I remind you it's not the 1st time where we got to a point where the only way to fix the 20's problems are to blow it up. Stewart drove the car since it's inception in 99 and then he left in 08. Logano basically given all of Stewart's old team and stuff for 09. It didn't work and he left at the end of 2012. For 2013, Joe decided it was time for change. The old team that had been around since the beginning was no longer working out after 2 drivers had been in the car. So he did a massive reset. New driver, Kenseth. New C.C., Jason Ratcliffe. And it actually worked. For the next handful of years the 20 team was a championship contender. Then it stopped again once Matt left and Eric took over. Joe Gibbs said I did it once before I can do it again. Nearly a decade later, in 2021 the 20 was blown up again. And it looks like it worked again as the 20 was still in championship contention until the round of 12. Bell and Stevens were just what the doctor ordered whether you like it or not.
