Bell dazzles in the photographic finishing on Hamlin for the third consecutive cup victory

He play the bell again, because Christopher Bell has done it at another time. No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE led 105 turns, took the victory in stage 2 and then retained his teammate Denny Hamlin In a final dramatic photo Take the victory in the Nascar Cup series of Domingo Shriners Children’s 500 in Phoenix Raceway.

The victory is Bell’s third consecutive victory in the best Nascar series, which makes it the first pilot since the beginning of the era of the next generation (2022) to achieve three consecutive victories in the Nascar Cup series.

The victory marks the 12th of the Nascar Cup of the Nascar Cup of 184 races of Bell.

While the final result was a 1-2 end for Joe Gibbs Racing, the team’s owner, Joe Gibbs, admitted that he felt a bit restless with his two competitive drivers who fight each other in an attempt to get to La Victoria on Sunday.

“‘Nervous’ is probably a good word for it. I was ready to place,” Gibbs joked. “One of the things that always worries me when we get two of our cars there, because that can be an intense meeting tomorrow at 2:00. I can tell you that. Hello, they ran.

On a day in which multiple tire compounds created an interesting strategic wrinkle in the way the race was developed, the cream found a way to climb the top when the end of the race saw Bell versus Hamlin, and Kyle Larson crossed the finish line less than a tenth of a second behind Bell in Third.

Hamlin, who immersed himself in the field due to a rough stop in the intermediate stages of the race, thanked his boxes for knocking out his best stops of the day he imported most. Unfortunately, Hamlin’s hope of a long green flag to finish the race was frustrated by a caution for fluid on the track in Tour 290, and an accident of his teammate Ty Gibbs in the lap 305.

“Yes, a great job of this sports clips team. It improved better and better as I advanced. Pit Crew did a phenomenal job to keep us in the game when we had a bad stop in the middle. They compensated it at the end,” said Hamlin. “The first time we could get a clean air all day. Obviously, our car was really fast. I really wanted it to stay green there because I thought that in the long term is really where we were going to be able to excel, especially in these tires.”

Although the race did not run green until the end, Hamlin found himself in a position to almost win the race, but Bell only had enough to achieve it at 0.049 seconds.

“We received a good restart. The 5 really gave me a great thrust in the front of the restart, in the back. I had a position (Bell),” Hamlin said. “I knew I was going to send it there. (Yes) I had to use me, I could. Obviously, we were left without racing races there. Great final. Great work of the entire Joe Gibbs team to give us some fast cars.”

Behind the Bell, Hamlin and Larson trio were Josh Berry, who captured an impressive fourth place in the Knight Dark Ford Mustang Caballero of Wood Brothers No. 21. While Berry had great races at the Daytona 500 opening of the season, and the following week in Atlanta, he could not move away with the results he deserved. On Sunday, in Phoenix, he finally got an ending he deserved.

Chris Buescher from RFK Racing obtained his first first place among the top five of the season with a solid race in fifth place. Buescher now has three best results among the four initial races of the 2025 season.

Polesitter and the winner of stage 1 William Byron would end up sixth after leading 83 laps during the day, and Alex Bowman, Kyle Busch, Zane Smith and Chase Elliott followed him at the goal.

The biggest accident of the day occurred on Tour 99 when there was a body -to -body fight in the curve 2. Ty Gibbs, which ran inside a battle of four widths, would collide with Justin Haley, which sent Haley to Chase Briscoe, who sent Briscoe to Carson Hocevar.

Briscoe’s car would take off briefly from the ground, and then the three cars on Gibbs would crash on the outer wall, which caused a jam of trunks in the middle of the track. By the time the dust settled, Brad Keselowski, the contestants of the year Riley Herbst and Shane Van Gisbergen, Cole Custer, Noah Gragson and Austin Dillon would be involved in the butcher shop.

The accident spent the end of the day for Van Gisbergen, Herbst, Custer, Keselowski, Haley, Briscoe and Hocevar.

Katherine Legge had an agitated debut in the Nascar Cup. The first run to start a race of the Nascar Cup series since 2018 made an error in Tour 4, and went to its number 78 Chevrolet Live Fast Motorsports, but could avoid damage.

However, Legge would have A second incident in Tour 215Where she wouldn’t be so lucky. Legge, five laps of the rhythm, tried to compete with Josh Berry in fifth place, when he made contact at the exit of curve 2. This sent Legge turning, and the sixth place Daniel Suárez had nowhere to go, and crashed into the Legge machine No. 78.

Legge’s career would end that accident, and a 30th place would be attributed in the field of 37 cars. Suarez, who seemed to have a car among the 10 best, all races, would end a disappointing 23.

The following for the Nascar Cup Series is a trip to Las Vegas Motor Speedway next weekend, where the series will play the fifth race of its 36 -run calendar. The 400 Pennzoil in Las Vegas is scheduled for Sunday, March 16, and will be televised in FS1 with coverage of coverage at 3:30 pm et.
