Kevin Harvick warns rest of NASCAR about Christopher Bell: 'They're dangerous'

Christopher Bell has planted his flag and made a statement to start the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, winning three of the first four races, and three in a row. Kevin Harvick has taken notice of the No. 20 wheelman’s rejuvenated attitude, and newfound confidence this season.

During the latest episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, the former champion touted Bell as the easy championship favorite at the moment. He recognizes it’s Bell’s world and we’re just living in it, but the team needs to keep their foot on the gas, and not let their immense success go to their head moving forward.

“They’re dangerous. The only thing that worries me at this point is just so much success in the beginning of the year that they aren’t working, you know — [they’re not] going to have that same motivation that some of the guys that are not there will to gain that edge as they go through the year. But right now? They are lights out,” Harvick stated, regarding the No. 20 team.

“We’ve known that Christopher Bell was in a different spot than he has been in previous years, just because of his confidence. I believe he’s still the leader, the growing leader of JGR. He’s won the last five races for Joe Gibbs Racing. To start this year with the diversity of different race tracks that they’ve been on and able to get to Victory Lane, I mean, they’ve just — they’ve automatically just put themselves into the championship favorite, just by sheer performance on the racetrack and the versatility that they’ve had to start the season.

“So Bell just gets more confident, more mature. Team is all together. They have that continuity, with all the team members being pretty much the same for multiple years now, and I think that matters. A lot of those guys have won championships, whether it was with Kyle Busch or whatnot. So, it’s a very experienced veteran group of guys, top to bottom.”

All told, with Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the docket this weekend, it’s easy to see how Bell could potentially win a fourth race in a row. He’s started on the pole three times in Sin City, and he’s finished as the runner-up twice. However, Bell’s never been to Victory Lane at the track, at least not yet. Perhaps that’ll change this time around.

A fourth-straight win would be historic, and then it’s only a matter of how many Christopher Bell can notch before someone stops him. Kevin Harvick is impressed, and the rest of the NASCAR world shares that sentiment regarding the Joe Gibbs Racing star.
