Brent Crews makes unofficial NASCAR Cup debut at San Diego in 2026
xCruzo Brief
Brent Crews’ short-lived appearance marks an unofficial NASCAR Cup Series debut at San Diego in 2026. On Sunday, the 18-year-old driver replaced Christopher Bell in the No. 20 car for Joe Gibbs Racing after the first caution, following Bell’s wrist injury suffered at Michigan International Speedway. Bell could not complete all laps in San Diego due to safety concerns. While the outlet notes it will not become an official debut, it was Crews’ first Cup Series action with JGR. The attempt ended quickly when the No. 20 car blew up, resulting in one point credited to Bell and the team. The report says it is unclear whether the failure was Crews’ fault. Joe Gibbs Racing may reinsert Crews in the No. 20 at Sonoma Raceway next weekend.
