Three weeks, three wins, three different types of tracks—Christopher Bell has been unstoppable.

Now, ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series’ Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, he’s poised to join an elite group by scoring a fourth consecutive victory.

The driver of the No. 20 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry has logged three straight wins in three tracks of varying difficulty – the drafting high banks of Atlanta Motor Speedway, the flowing road course at the Circuit of the Americas and the bullring of Phoenix International Raceway.

While his is one win away from joining this exclusive club, The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is taking the task at hand at face value.

“I’m just excited about it, one thing’s for sure. Nothing that has happened the last 3 weeks means anything for this week. Nothing is set and we have to go out there and perform when the green flag flies for practice, we have to qualify well and we have to execute the race. I’m optimistic because this has been a strong track for us in the past, but I’m trying very hard to not get ahead of myself and understand that it’s a new week.

The fraternity of drivers logging four consecutive wins in a season include hall of famers Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson along with perennial contender Harry Gant.

Bell’s current streak is particularly impressive considering how relatively early he is in his career – a mere 184 starts. Gordon previously held the mark at 195 starts when he scored four straight wins in 1998.

Reaching this milestone in his relatively short career legitimizes Bell as a top contender worthy of Hall of Fame status. For him, the significance of this accomplishment isn’t lost.

“Obviously it’s special – that’s the cliché answer but it’s something that I take a lot of pride in. Its crazy to think about the time I’ve been in the Cup series. It feels like a long time, but then you look at stuff like that and you realize that I’m still pretty young in my career.

“It’s obviously a dream come true to be compared or be in the same category of those guys. It’s definitely an honor no matter if I win or lose to be able to be in that conversation.”

With the Vegas odds on Bell being 4 to 1 – he appears as a legitimate favorite for Sunday’s 267-lap contest. This comes despite Bell searching for his maiden win at the 1.5-mile oval with a bets finish of second coming last year’s fall contest.

He acknowledged chances could improve with a solid qualifying performance. Bell highlighted his victories by clawing his way through the field – starting 32^nd at Atlanta and a couple of mid-teens starts at COTA and Phoenix of 19^th and 11^th.

Bell accredited while found his way to the front regardless, but qualifying up front will make his job easier.

“It’s definitely a focus point for us,” he said. “Qualifying and racing really is kind of two separate thing and how you qualify doesn’t necessarily dictate how you’re going to run in the race. The big thing about qualifying is pit selection and we’ve been really fortunate to end up with good pit stalls where I don’t get blocked in and have to lose track position when I’m getting out. I’ve gotten away with poor qualifying efforts so far.

“Certainly, we want to focus on qualifying but we’ve learned that qualifying means nothing to where we’re going to run in the race.”
