Christopher Bell a 'game time decision' to run full NASCAR street race

Christopher Bell remains a game-time decision for NASCAR’s street race at Naval Air Station North Island, following a fractured wrist two weeks earlier at Michigan International Speedway. Bell acknowledged the course’s high risk and the potential need for Brent Crews as a relief driver if he cannot continue, noting he cannot push the steering wheel with full force while healing. Crews, the 2023 Trans-Am road racing champion, has already tested in a TRD simulator and completed Cup practice, offering an option if Bell’s condition deteriorates or if steering demands become untenable. Bell’s medical team has advised against removing the cast, keeping the decision weekly and contingent on comfort and safety ahead of race day.
