Christopher Bell

Norman dirt. Gibbs No. 20. Still a midget guy.

2017 Truck champion. Chili Bowl regular. The smooth Toyota driver who can still slide a midget like he never left Oklahoma.

No. 20

A Joe Gibbs Toyota with DeWalt orange in the family of schemes. Bell is the one who can win on a road course or a short track and still look like he is saving the right-rear.

Childhood

Sooner State, then every indoor midget that mattered

Christopher David Bell was born December 16, 1994 in Norman, Oklahoma — college-football town, dirt-track state.

He became a national name in USAC midgets and sprint cars long before a Cup owner knew the résumé. The Chili Bowl in Tulsa was a home game.

Kyle Busch Motorsports put him in a Truck. In 2017 he won the Camping World Truck Series championship. Joe Gibbs was the next door.

Family

Off the clock

Bell married Morgan (Kemenah) Bell in 2020. The Oklahoma accent never left. Neither did the dirt dates on the off-week calendar.

Hometown & home

Norman first. Huntersville for the 20.

Hometown is Norman — brick campus streets, Oklahoma sky, and the dirt tracks that built a midget champion.

Joe Gibbs Racing is the Cup address. The No. 20 Toyota is the smooth one in the JGR stable, and after Loudon Bell sits fifth, 249 out of Hamlin.

Racing career

From hometown nights to the No. 20

  1. 2013–17

    USAC to Trucks

    Midgets and sprints first. Then Kyle Busch Motorsports and a 2017 Truck title that put Gibbs on notice.

  2. 2018–20

    Xfinity, then Cup

    Xfinity wins for JGR, then a Cup seat. The learning curve was real. The dirt hands were already there.

  3. 2021–now

    The 20

    He inherited Gibbs’s famous number. After Loudon he is fifth in 2026 points and still a problem on any track that rewards precision.

Dirt never left the calendar

Trucks, midgets, then the 20

Bell is the other dirt guy in this top 10. Larson is the headline. Bell is the one who still treats Tulsa like a second playoff.
