Christopher Bell wins second Daytona 500 duel, full results and race recap

Christopher Bell wins the second Daytona 500 qualifying duel in 2024. Check out the full results and race recap for Duel No. 2.

[autotag]Christopher Bell[/autotag] hopes his second race of the week at Daytona International Speedway will go as well as the first. On Thursday night, Bell’s last-lap pass on teammate Denny Hamlin propelled him to victory at the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2 at DAYTONA. It is the first qualifying duel win of the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s NASCAR Cup Series career.

Also, Kaz Grala has joined Jimmie Johnson as the other open car to secure a spot in the 2024 Daytona 500. If not for a late caution, B.J. McLeod likely would have made the show, as Grala lost the draft. Unfortunately for McLeod, he was involved in the accident and couldn’t pass Grala in time. However, The No. 78 team did impress after running in the top-5 spots.

As for Bell, he will start in fourth place. The rest of the results will go in order on the outside of the Daytona 500 starting lineup. If the Daytona 500 qualifying duels indicate what’s coming next, we are in for a treat.
