NASCAR insider Bob Francis of www.gofullthrottle.net had a mic in Bell’s grill and we break it down

Christopher Bell is about as mild-mannered as a top-tier NASCAR driver can get. The 13-time Cup Winner was so upset over the 26 car pileup at Talladega, he kept circling back to the topic even after reporters changed the subject. (Complete wins listed below). Many CUP drivers want a change on the Superspeedway courses. Reasons include, fuel saving instead of driving, the lack of ability to pass unless you count going backward when you lose the draft, are mentioned factors. Bell used the nuclear option to ask for change and he broke out of his Steve O’Donnell pajamas with the press at Texas Motor Speedway. Our NASCAR insider Bob Francis of Gofullthrottle.net breaks it down in this episode. We also break down fantasy favorites in the second half of this 12-minute episode.
