  • BELL NCS AT BRISTOL: Christopher Bell will make his fourth NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) this weekend in the No. 20 Yahoo! Toyota Camry TRD for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). In his first start at BMS, Bell started towards the back of the field in 35th based on a random draw and skillfully maneuvered his way around the 0.533-mile concrete oval to earn a top-10 finish. In his second NCS start Bell suffered a flat tire under green late in the race, resulting in a 28th-place finish. Last year Bell started sixth and was running inside the top 10 in the final stage but contact on-track caused a flat tire. Bell pitted twice under green for repairs and finished the race 29th.

From the Cockpit:

Christopher Bell: “It’s always going to be a great race whenever you go to Bristol, lap traffic will always be a factor.

They’ve been doing a really good job getting the PJ1 where you have the top and bottom that are both useable to pass cars so it’s always one of the best races of the year and is definitely one of my favorites.”
