Christopher Bell worked his way up from 20th to first in the final laps of the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday. It's his first win of the year.
Christopher Bell took advantage of Martin Truex Jr.’s late decision to pit under a green flag and won the Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday. Bell had more than a six-second lead over Chris Buescher and Ty Gibbs with 10 laps to go as he hoped for no cautions before the white flag. His prayers were answered, and he was able to guide the No. 20 Toyota Camry to Victory Lane and pick up some crucial points early in the Cup Series season.
Bell was 20th on the final restart and worked his way up to the front. 'This one feels really good,' he told FOX Sports. 'You don’t get cars like that every often – just super, super proud, proud to be on this 20 car. This Rheem Camry was amazing today. I feel like we have capability of running races like this a lot.' 'Hopefully, this is the first of many this year.
Truex Jr.’s gamble to stay on the track with the lead while the rest of the leaders pitted didn’t pay off. He needed to change his tires with 41 laps to go and gave up his lead. He fell right off the top 15 as soon as he got to pit road, but he was able to claw his way back. He finished in seventh. It was Bell’s seventh win of his career. He won two in 2023: at Bristol for the dirt race and at Homestead-Miami. His win also helped negate two straight poor finishes in 2024.
