Why Christopher Bell Will Not Watch NASCAR’s Netflix Docuseries

Since it first came out, Netflix’s five-part docuseries NASCAR: Full Speed has left the viewers with two verdicts. One; it’s a must-watch and two; they want more. However, despite being in it, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell revealed in an interview with Bob Pockrass that he has still not watched the series. But why so? Let’s find out.

The Fox Sports journalist was curious if the reason was that Bell didn’t want to relive the disappointment of making it to Championship 4 and still not winning the title. However, Bell assured that the fact that he has not watched the series yet has nothing to do with that.

“Basically, my entire life…I don’t know, I don’t like watching my own interviews, so I don’t watch any of my own interviews,” said the Toyota driver. “I don’t watch myself on camera. I can watch myself racing and stuff…most of the time I watch that (interviews) I am just like what was I thinking?”

Fans rallied behind Christopher Bell’s down-to-earth nature

Christopher Bell is one of those drivers who is never flashy and always devoted to doing the work that’s expected of him. This soft-spoken man is so close to the earth that he doesn’t really enjoy the exposure that the sport caters to its athletes. All he wants to do is to win races and make it big in his life as a race car driver.

Needless to say, such a selfless and work-centric attitude garnered applause from several fans on X.
