Christopher Bell hints at return to dirt racing after JGR lifts driver restrictions

newsweek.com

Christopher Bell has hinted at a return to dirt racing after Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) lifted restrictions on its drivers. The new policy allows JGR drivers to compete in Sprint Car and dirt events, a significant change from previous limitations. Historically, JGR restricted its NASCAR drivers from participating in dirt racing to reduce injury risks. The shift follows the planned addition of Chase Briscoe, a driver with a strong dirt racing background, prompting JGR to reconsider its stance. Bell expressed excitement about the change, stating he was surprised by the policy update. Drivers will still need permission for specific races to ensure safety, but the move has generated enthusiasm among fans and the racing community.
