Bell’s Wrist Woes and Crews’ Readiness

Christopher Bell’s wrist recovery is hanging by a thread as he prepares for Sunday’s high-stakes San Diego street race, handing laps over to 18-year-old Brent Crews — his ready-made backup — amid concerns about the track’s brutal bumps and aggressive turns. Though Bell felt okay at Pocono, this new course’s contact-heavy nature has him sweating, especially with his cast needing re-wrap. Crews, a seasoned road racer and longtime friend, is primed to step in if needed — and Bell actually sees this as a golden opportunity for Crews to make his Cup Series debut. Despite their car’s struggles in practice, Crews’ pace impressed Bell, who believes the team’s performance won’t falter if Crews takes the wheel. With two more road courses ahead, Bell hopes to return to full strength soon — frustrated but grateful for just broken bones. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
