Christopher Bell officially has 410 Sprint Car races on his rekindled dirt-track schedule.

The 30-year-old NASCAR Cup superstar is set to make his first 410 winged sprint car start start since June of 2022 with the Kreitz Racing No. 69K team at Feb. 5’s DIRTcar Nationals at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park with the World of Outlaws and March 13’s Kubota High Limit Racing season opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Kreitz said that "if everything goes OK" with the Joe Gibbs Racing driver on Feb. 5 at Volusia, they'll race Feb. 6 at Volusia as well. They'll also practice together Feb. 4 at Volusia.

“Watching the 69K run over the years has been super impressive. Don and the Kreitz team are top notch and I’m excited to see what it’s like to drive," Bell told FloRacing said. "I’ve been out of Sprint Car racing for a while, so I’m looking forward to getting my feet wet and see how comfortable I am in my return.

"I’m looking forward to it," Bell added. "Sprint Cars can be so fun to drive when the cars good."

Bell's last race in a 410 Sprint Car was June 29, 2022's PA Speedweek event at Port Royal Speedway, and he hasn't appeared in a Sprint Car since.  For a few years, Joe Gibbs Racing forbade its drivers from dirt racing, but in mid-November, Joe Gibbs told The Athletic his organization is giving his drivers the freedom to race select dirt events moving forward.

“It’s amazing. It’s hard to believe that it’s really going to happen,” Kreitz said of having Bell race select events for him. "Naturally he’s one of the top drivers in the world as far as being able to run different stuff and run good in everything. He's really versatile and seems he was raised right, very polite."

Logan Wagner and Kreitz parting ways Saturday has freed up the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame owner of the iconic blue-and-orange No. 69K of Sinking Spring, Pa., to put Bell in his seat. On Saturday night, Kreitz hired Ryan Smith of Kunkletown, Pa., as his second driver to the No. 69K's lineup around Central Pennsylvania along with former World of Outlaws champ Daryn Pittman, who's slated to race all six WoO events at Williams Grove Speedway in 2025.

No additional races outside of Volusia and Las Vegas are on Bell’s and Kreitz’s schedules.

“I don’t know with his schedule,” Kreitz said when asked if he could have Bell in his car more often this year. “There’s nothing planned after that.”

“His quote to me was, ‘It’s been a minute since I was in a Sprint Car, it’d be nice if we could get out somewhere before Vegas,’” Kreitz added. “He said something about Volusia, and that’s like another month earlier than what I usually run around here (in Central Pennsylvania).”

The earlier start date for Kreitz means that extra work will have to be done this winter to ensure the car is ready for the early February start, but that doesn't seem like an issue for the 60-year-old car owner.

“I had to see if I can make everything happen that way. We don’t have anything together yet. I know we’re definitely not doing all of Volusia. It’ll just be a night or two for practice because Volusia in February is really, really hard on engines, and we’re not a team that can afford to go down there and, you know, lose a couple of engines. It’ll be limited.”

Kreitz hasn’t raced at Volusia “in forever,” so he really hopes Mother Nature cooperates with him in early February.

“I really hope practice doesn’t get rained out or anything because hopefully it’ll give me a chance to get the car halfway close for him for the first night,” Kreitz said. “It’s more pressure on me, and I’m sure he wants to do good and do bad either, it’s just I’m worried zero about him driving. I just hope to get everything right so it’s close for him.”

Joe Gibbs Racing employee Chris Gillin is responsible for the Bell and Kreitz tandem. Gillin used to help crew for Kreitz in the early 1990s before he took a job with Joe Gibbs Racing.

Bell soon learned that Gillin used to crew for Kreitz, and ever since, the nine-time NASCAR Cup winner has always wanted to give the No. 69K a whirl.

“I guess one time (Bell and Gillin) were joking around, and Christopher said, ‘I guess it would be nice to drive (the 69K) sometime,’ or whatever,” Kreitz said. “Now the opportunity came because (Joe Gibbs Racing) released him to run some dirt races. My friend gave Christopher my number and he reached out. So, we put something together."
