Kyle Larson understands Christopher Bell's current success, having been the last driver to win three consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races back in 2021. Bell's streak includes victories at Atlanta, Circuit of The Americas, and Phoenix, making him the first driver to achieve this feat in the Next Gen era.

"I respect it more than anything currently, but if it keeps going on too long, it'll get annoying," Larson admitted with a smile.

Bell enters Las Vegas Motor Speedway looking to extend his streak to four races, a milestone not achieved since Jimmie Johnson's 2007 playoff run. Despite his dominance at Las Vegas, including three poles and 248 laps led, Bell has yet to secure a victory there in his Cup Series career.

Fellow competitors acknowledge the difficulty of Bell's achievement, particularly in the Next Gen era where parity is emphasized through standardized parts and pieces. Ryan Blaney expressed both respect and determination to end the streak, while teammate Tyler Reddick praised Bell's consistency.

Denny Hamlin, who finished second to Bell at Phoenix, noted the rarity of such accomplishments, having only managed back-to-back wins twice in his 54-victory career.

Bell remains focused on the challenge ahead: "Nothing that has happened the last three weeks means anything for this week. Everything is still ahead of me, and we have to go out there and perform as soon as the green flag drops."
