An Interview with:

Q. Habits are hard to break. That is seven New Hampshire wins and 11 National Series starts for Christopher Bell at this racetrack. You told me you would be good with the wet weather tires, but did you think you would be the car to beat?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: You never know. You never know how this thing is going to shake out whenever you change so many things like that and the adverse conditions. I personally love adverse conditions because you're always trying to think outside the box.

You know, whenever we went back out, I was feeling around, and it felt like the normal Loudon groove was really, really slippery. So I tried to just run down or run up, and Adam put the tune on this thing, and it was turning really good.

So this is really cool because Rheem has won a lot here, and we always have Watts on the car too. That is just really, really special.

Hey, guys, this one didn't get shortened.

Q. You're not a fan of the lobster. Are you going to be cool with that? It's 25 pounds this year.

CHRISTOPHER BELL: I'm going on pick that sucker up, absolutely.

Q. He wouldn't really want to pick it up before, Rick, but I tell you what this race team is so good, and guess who is now second on the playoff grid. Christopher Bell and the 20 team just one point behind Kyle Larson.
