Christopher Bell would like to move from the NASCAR Xfinity Series to the Cup Series in 2019. For which team will he end up driving and in which series?

After winning the 2017 NASCAR Truck Series championship in his second full-time season in the series driving the #4 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, Christopher Bell was promoted to the Xfinity Series as the driver of the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Through the first 25 races of this season, the 23-year-old Norman, Oklahoma native sits in third place in the championship standings with four victories and 24 playoff points. He has racked up 13 top five finishes,15 top 10 finishes and three pole positions. His win total is second best among all Xfinity Series drivers, and his playoff point total is tied for the best among all Xfinity Series drivers.

Bell has stated that he does not feel as though he needs to spend another season in the Xfinity Series and that he would prefer to be promoted to the Cup Series with a Toyota team since he gives Toyota a lot of credit for getting him to where he is in his racing career.

But while Bell certainly has the talent to make the jump from the Xfinity Series to the Cup Series, he also acknowledged the fact that there may not be room for him to make that jump ahead of next season. That said, there is still certainly a chance that he could do so.

For which team will Bell end up driving in 2019 and in which series? Here are five possible landing spots for him.
