But for our time together, you can’t separate my accomplishments from his accomplishments. They are one and the same, when you think of it like that, every success and failure that we had, we had together…It was a highly successful relationship. Lots of ups and not too many downs…Hopefully, I did him proud in the time I was at the helm.”

Reflecting on the partnership, Stevens acknowledged that the two of them were hugely successful together. There were a few hits and misses, but the former outweighed the latter. This is why he is truly thankful for his time as Busch’s crew chief.

Stevens only does this job because he likes to win, and this is not a fun exercise for him. At any time of the day, all he thinks about is race cars and he is devoted to it. According to him, he is not there for the paychecks or any other reason, he is only there to win. Sadly, he has not been winning much, but he plans to correct that posthaste.

The big question is, can Christopher Bell be the driver to deliver victories? With Kyle Busch in his stable, the two of them achieved considerable success, so can Christopher Bell pick up the slack?
