Ty Gibbs is a winner for the second time in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, as well as the second time in his career. For Bell, it's his seventh runner-up finish of the season and fourth in the five most recent races. He's too talented not to and he's driving one of the fastest cars in the field. When you're driving cars as fast as Joe Gibbs Racing has in 2026, winning must be the expectation, no matter how consistent you are. Thus far, Bell's 2026 season has been the epitome of just very good.
