Christopher Bell Matches Rare Kyle Larson Feat While Racing Through Pain
Christopher Bell's second-place finish at Iowa put him in rare company alongside Kyle Larson, extending an incredible streak that has unfolded while the Joe Gibbs Racing driver continues racing through a fractured wrist.
Christopher Bell has etched his name alongside only a handful of drivers in NASCAR by matching a rare feat—four consecutive runner-up finishes over a span of five races. The accomplishment is especially notable given Bell's ongoing struggle with a fractured left wrist, an injury sustained in a crash at Michigan International Speedway earlier this summer.
Bell's consistency has placed him in a select group of NASCAR drivers, since Kyle Larson was the last to accomplish a similar feat across the end of the 2016 season and the beginning of 2017. Despite the setback, Bell has continued to contend and race through excruciating pain. His latest second-place finish at Iowa Speedway solidified his championship contention, demonstrating his resilience despite the challenges posed by his injury.
