Christopher Bell on Kyle Larson: ‘We’re Not Friends’
During a press conference on Saturday at Phoenix Raceway, Bell got candid about how he feels about one of his toughest competitors.
Bell said he and Larson have pushed each other to their limits on the racetrack. Off the track, Bell believes he and Larson are not alike.
“I think Kyle and I have, I mean, we’ve raced each other really hard basically our entire career. … I think it’s fair to say we’re different people and we hang out with different people,” Bell said.
Bell was upfront in saying he does not consider Larson a friend.
“We’re not friends, but we’re acquaintances and we would race each other hard,” Bell said.
Bell’s comments were seemingly not out of disdain for Larson but rather an honest opinion on one of his most formidable rivals.
Regardless of Bell’s intentions, his comments certainly drew attention.
During the press conference, Denny Hamlin chimed in and joked that Bell gave everyone a perfect headline heading into Sunday’s Freeway Insurance 500.
“Just gave everyone their quote. ‘We’re not friends’ and it’s going to be on every [expletive] headline,” Hamlin said.
