Christopher Bell wins Cup Series race at Phoenix, full results and race recap

Christopher Bell wins the NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway. Check out the full results, race recap from Phoenix!

The NASCAR Cup Series arrived at Phoenix Raceway with a lot of unknowns. NASCAR introduced a new short-track package to increase the passing and competitiveness. At the end of the day, the race for the finish wasn’t competitive as a Joe Gibbs Racing driver dominated the Cup Series field at Phoenix.

[autotag]Christopher Bell[/autotag] won the Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix by over six seconds. Bell had the best car during the event and won Stage 2 after catching Tyler Reddick. In Stage 1, Reddick passed Ty Gibbs with a few laps remaining. Starting in Stage 2, Bell had the best car. This is the driver of the No. 20 car’s first victory of the season.

Bell will carry this momentum into Bristol Motor Speedway, another great track for him. He struggled in the last two races but knocked the monkey off his back at Phoenix. If Bell can keep this up on short tracks, this could be the first of two straight wins.
