  • DARLINGTON RECAP: Bell narrowly missed earning a pole starting position and lined up second to kickoff the 2022 NASCAR Playoffs. Bell ran inside the top five and top 10 throughout the first two stages, an untimely caution in the final stage during a cycle of green flag pit stops put him a lap down, but he was able to take the “wave around” and get back on the lead lap. Bell raced his way back to earn a fifth-place finish at Darlington.

From the Cockpit:

Christopher Bell: “I expect Kansas to be a great racetrack for us. It seems like the faster the track the better we go. It’s a track we were strong at in the spring, and we won the pole. There’s no reason we should not be able to contend for the win this weekend.”
