Christopher Bell recently spoke about initial interactions with his new crew chief, Adam Stevens. Bell is quite focused on building a strong relationship with Stevens, who also starts a new chapter with Joe Gibbs Racing, after a successful run with Kyle Busch.

Bell also opened up on one of those initial pieces of conversation with Stevens. He assured the crew chief that he can expect a completely different experience than the one he had with Busch.

Busch is well known in NASCAR circles for his straightforward demeanor. Like some others, he is also heated up during chats over the team radio on many occasions and demanding a lot more from his crew. Bell asked Stevens to expect something totally different from him as he will be a lot more “soft-spoken”.

How Christopher Bell promises to be different from Kyle Busch

“Our first meeting that we had together, I said, ‘Well, I can promise you that I’m going to be a change of pace from Kyle because my demeanor inside the car is a lot different than what Kyle’s is,’ ” Bell said during an interview.

“I can promise you that Christopher Bell is going to be a lot different than what Kyle Busch was,” the youngster further said, as he builds a new relationship with Stevens.

Bell feels ‘pit stops’ are where he can considerably benefit with the new team at JGR. Back at Leavine Family Racing, Bell felt he seriously could run up-front more often than not. However, that did not happen.
