Christopher Bell interested in running Indianapolis 500

If Toyota ever returns to the IndyCar Series as an engine supplier, Christopher Bell would be one of the first to raise a hand if they wanted to take an existing driver under its umbrella to a one-off or the Indianapolis 500.

“Yeah, for sure,” Bell said on Friday prior to the NASCAR awards event in Downtown Charlotte. “If Toyota was interested in that, I would be raising my hand to do it. They haven’t been (just) a huge part of my career, they have been my career. They have literally taken me from childhood semi-professional or amateur racing all the way to the Cup Series so I would love that. I would love if they would do it, and I’d be the first one to raise my hand to do it.”
