Kyle Larson believes that after the incident in New Hampshire, Christopher Bell will be able to avoid disrupting JGR’s plans in the future.

Kyle Larson continues to play off of Christopher Bell’s mistake. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver heads into Sunday’s USA Today 301 race with the goal of running a strong race and continuing his impressive performance in the 2024 season. However, during the press conference, he made a mistake and accidentally revealed that JGR has hired someone to replace Martin Truex Jr. in the 2025 season. This incident was a huge disappointment for JGR as it prevented them from making a major official announcement. The 2021 Cup champion, in a comment on the incident, expressed his belief that Christopher Bell can now be trusted to keep secrets in the future. Kyle Larson mentioned that he was quick to tweet a joke about Chase Elliott’s move to Joe Gibbs Racing after Christopher Bell accidentally revealed that “Chase” (meaning Chase Briscoe) will be joining JGR next year. The Hendrick Motorsports driver was the first to joke about the mistake on social media. He cleverly took advantage of Bell’s slip-up by mentioning Chase’s name and wrote a farewell message to his teammate, joking that he might move to JGR. The HMS rider pointed out that Bell’s mistake thwarted any plans JGR’s PR team had for Briscoe’s announcement. However, the champion believes JGR can turn this slip-up into an opportunity and achieve better results. The HMS rider has a valid objection as this incident provides an opportunity for JGR’s PR team to show their skills and prove their worth by handling this challenging situation. It will be interesting to see how they will handle it.
