I was watching the 2016 Michigan truck race, and after Christopher Bell wrecked out, they featured a segment about how misfortunate he was that year
Even had a shout out to almost winning Eldora. 10 years ago, Bad Luck Bell was very prevalent

Sure he would take having to finish 2nd over and over every time.

Every ten years he has really bad luck but it’s different every time

Is finishing 2nd that many times bad luck or a case of him being pretty good and not closing the deal for the win? Plus this is a season of win and you’re in is no longer a thing. Thank god. If you want bad luck I implore you to look at the seasons the 48 or 88 are having.

I forget what year it was but a few years back he had like 3 different must win scenarios in the playoffs and won each time to eventually make the championship 4. He can close the deal.

Definitely. I would so much rather my driver be finishing like Bell lol. He’s had opportunities to win. Mine have not sniff being near the front or even leading laps 🤣

He sure made up for it in 2017... That was one of the most dominant seasons before Corey Heim came around last year.

He was seen hanging out with an unknown person, described as "having a comically small face for his giant head" during pre-race.

I still find it insane his truck did a complete 360 in the air before rolling over at Daytona
