Christopher Bell joins Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, presented by NASCAR on FOX, for a special victory lap edition fresh off his Southern 500 win at Darlington and his first victory of the 2026 season.

Bell opens up about battling back from his injury at Michigan, racing with a cast and staying in the championship hunt. He explains why The Chase rewards consistency and winning multiple races, the mental and physical grind of the Southern 500 at Darlington and racing against top contenders like Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, and Ty inside the same organization.

Later in the episode we feature Chase Elliott from Chase Media Days. The Hendrick Motorsports #9 talks about getting his pilot’s license and the nerves of his first solo flight. Why aviation became his “other discipline” outside racing. His love for fly fishing, how he got into it, and why the craft matters more than the catch. Elliott reacts to the new Days of Thunder project and how current drivers fit into it. He explains why he still loves driving race cars, how the Next Gen car changed his approach, and describing his driving style as “dynamic”. He also compares his driving state to athletes he admires, including Josh Allen and Scottie Scheffler, and how they influence his mindset.
