Morgan Bell didn’t exactly sign up to be in NASCAR spotlight-stealer, but having married Joe Gibbs Racing star Christopher Bell, she’s carved out her own space in the racing world—not with engines or trophies, but with sourdough starters, denim jumpsuits, and a refreshing dose of realness. She’s the wife who’s proud of her husband’s wins, reflective about their journey, and hilariously self-aware about her quirks. Off the track, Morgan’s turning heads and winning hearts, proving she’s more than just a racer’s plus-one.
Her presence is everywhere in Christopher’s racing life. When he powered through a strong Martinsville weekend, Morgan’s reaction was a heartfelt message. “This. Team. I freaking love this team! The 3peat was accomplished,” she shared in a burst of emotion on social media. After his third consecutive Cup Series triumph, she couldn’t hold back her admiration, gushing about his skill and the Joe Gibbs team that keeps him rolling. Even after a tough Pennzoil 400 finish in Las Vegas, where she admitted, “Las Vegas wasn’t in the cards for us,” her support never wavered.
And when Christopher’s creativity shone in a photo captioned “kills every time,” Morgan’s one-word response—“Talented”—said it all.
But it’s her conversation with Haley Dillon, wife of racer Ty Dillon, that really peels back the layers. “Christopher laughs to me, he says I have a lot of old lady habits and I’m like I can’t, can’t help that,” Morgan confessed. Haley, intrigued by Morgan’s baking, asked, “Are you still sourdoughing? Like are you still having to feed your starter?” Morgan didn’t miss a beat: “Oh yeah, like every, I don’t know the last time that we’ve really bought bread.” Haley’s eyes lit up. “Oh my gosh, I need to start getting my bread from you. I have not started the sourdough craze and if you got any extra loaves I will meet you and get it,” she said, practically begging. Morgan laughed, adding, “So, I mean literally every weekend too, like I get on the plane and I bring a loaf of bread with us every weekend to the races.” Haley’s response was instant: “Stop, that is so awesome.”
Now, Morgan’s love for baking isn’t a secret. Every now and then, she shares her secret recipes on social media. Once, it was in a post captioned, “Banana Oat Bars. Ingredients below” It’s just a small part of her way of living healthy. While baking her own bread is one thing, Morgan encourages her fans to be healthy, such as when she posted, “I love my local Clean Juice! If you can, don’t forget to support your local businesses”
This isn’t just a hobby, it’s Morgan’s signature. It’s a small, quirky detail that’s made her a fan favorite. While Haley Dillon rocks her own edgy style with her character-inspired outfits at Blue Ridge or adorable Disneyland selfies with Ty. Morgan’s “old lady” charm is quieter, cozier, and totally her own.
Beyond the races, Morgan’s life with Christopher is a mix of adventure and everyday joys. A March photo dump from Christopher showed them soaking up moments off the track—quiet times at home, glimpses of their dog Dixie, and Morgan’s radiant smile. At Texas Motor Speedway, they cooked together and hit the kart racing track, proving they’re a duo that thrives in and out of the spotlight. At Homestead-Miami, Morgan stunned in a washed-off denim jumpsuit and sneakers, standing beside Christopher with a style that’s equal parts laid-back and striking. She even took a trip down memory lane, sharing a 2014 photo from the early days of their relationship, marveling at how far they’ve come.
Christopher Bell’s heartfelt tribute at Darlington
This past weekend at Darlington, something special happened—something that is tugging the hearts. Christopher Bell didn’t just race; he poured his soul onto that track, honoring his late mentor, Rick Ferkel, in a way that left us all a little misty-eyed.
Bell’s car was rolling out with a throwback paint scheme with a nod to Rick’s iconic designs from back in the day. It wasn’t just about looking cool but about honoring the special ones. “Someone I would lean on,” Rick’s gone now, but that car was like he was riding shotgun, guiding Bell through every turn.
And the race itself was a nail-biter. Bell didn’t just show up; he fought. The results were solid proof of his grit, finishing strong while carrying Rick’s legacy. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin might’ve won the race and was out there stirring the pot after earning the right to do so. Firing back at the media’s Darlington digs with a bold, “We’re still the ones to beat.” But it was Bell’s tribute that stole the show.
This wasn’t about stats or trophies. It was about the heart. Bell took us back to his roots, reminding us why we love this sport. So here’s to Christopher, and to Rick. These guys made Darlington more than a race— a memory one can’t forget.
