Seven races into his second full-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, Christopher Bell, 22, continues to prove why he’s considered one of the top-young talents in the sport.

The Oklahoman picked up his second win of the season at Texas last Friday, edging out Chase Briscoe by inches for the checkered flag. In addition to his two victories, he owns five top-fives, six top-tens and a 6.4 average finish. Although Bell now sits second to Johnny Sauter in the standings, he leads the Truck Series with 13 playoff points.

Bell will continue his pursuit of Sauter when he goes for his second consecutive victory in Saturday’s Drivin’ for Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park at 8:30 pm  ET on FOX Sports 1 – a race he won last year.

“Gateway was a good race for us last year because we were able to get a win and earn a spot in the [playoffs], but it was kind of circumstances that got us the win,” Bell said. “A few of the strong guys crashing late in the race combined with a good pit stop, followed by a good restart won us the race.

“I’m looking forward to going back this year and trying to win the race as the dominant truck like we have the other two wins we’ve collected this year. I feel like every time we’ve gone to the track this year we’ve had really good speed and a Tundra that’s capable of winning the race.”

The Drivin’ for Linemen 200 begins at 8:30 pm ET this Saturday, June 17th at Gateway Motorsports Park. Coverage begins at 8 pm on FOX Sports 1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
