AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Joe Gibbs knows quite a lot about what it takes to win a championship.
As an NFL coach, he won three Super Bowls. As a NASCAR team owner, his drivers have won five Cup Series titles.
And he certainly likes what he sees in Christopher Bell’s consecutive victories, first in Atlanta, and then in Austin on Sunday. In both races, Bell hung around late and made the right moves to snatch victory.
From the race shop to the garage to the cockpit, Gibbs senses a championship chemistry brewing.
“I think in football every now and then you have a team that really had a great feeling about themselves, were really confident, and a great chemistry,” the 84-year-old Gibbs said after Bell’s latest victory.
