Christopher Bell is on the verge of joining an exclusive group of NASCAR drivers who have won four consecutive Cup Series races. If he secures a victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend, he will become the ninth driver in the modern era (since 1972) to achieve this remarkable feat. The elite list of drivers who have accomplished four consecutive wins includes:
Cale Yarborough: Achieved in 1976 during his first championship season.
Darrell Waltrip: Accomplished in 1981, leading to his first of three Cup Series titles.
Dale Earnhardt: Completed in 1987, en route to one of his seven championships.
Harry Gant: Notably achieved in 1991 at the age of 51, earning him the nickname ‘Mr. September’.
Bill Elliott: Secured in 1992, starting from the season’s second race.
Mark Martin: Accomplished in 1993, showcasing his dominance during that period.
Jeff Gordon: Achieved in 1998, a year he won a modern-era record 13 races.
Jimmie Johnson: Completed in 2007, during his unprecedented run of five consecutive championships.
Bell’s current streak includes victories at Atlanta, Circuit of the Americas, and Phoenix. A win at Las Vegas would not only extend his streak but also solidify his place among these NASCAR legends.
Achieving four consecutive wins is exceptionally rare in modern NASCAR due to the sport’s competitiveness and evolving dynamics. The last driver to accomplish this was Jimmie Johnson in 2007. Bell’s pursuit of this milestone underscores his current form and potential to etch his name alongside some of the sport’s greatest figures.
