GEORGETOWN, Del. — NASCAR Cup Series star Christopher Bell is known for his dirt racing background.
But next week, he’ll take on a new challenge.
The Norman, Okla., driver will compete in the Delaware Diamond Clash at Georgetown Speedway on Wednesday, May 13, behind the wheel of a Halmar-Friesen Racing Big Block Modified. It’ll be Bell’s first Super DIRTcar Series appearance, just before he competes in the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 17.
While it’ll be Bell’s first time in a Big Block, it won’t be the first time he’s teamed up with Friesen. He drove a Halmar-Friesen Racing truck to a victory at Bristol Motor Speedway earlier this season.
Bell will join Friesen in a stout Delaware Diamond 50 field, along with three-time and defending Series champion Mat Williamson, 10-time Series champion Matt Sheppard, previous Georgetown winner Alex Payne, and more.
As part of this mega-event, fans will also see the World of Outlaws Late Models presented by DIRTvision with former Modified star Tim McCreadie, defending champion Bobby Pierce, his championship rival Nick Hoffman, and many more.
Along with Bell’s appearance, NASCAR Hall of Famer Donnie Allison will be on hand, serving as the event’s Grand Marshal. He’ll also be signing autographs during the night.
