NASCAR Cup NHMS: Bell wins on rain tires in weekend sweep

Bell, who won Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, got a big jump on the field on an overtime restart and cruised to a 1.104-second win over a surprising Chase Briscoe. The final 77 laps of the race were run on wet weather tires – the longest stint since NASCAR implemented their use on some oval tracks. Bell moved into the lead for the final time on lap 242 and held on to the top spot through five agonizing restarts.

Bell went to the apron and powered around Reddick for the lead shortly after the restart. Gragson spun around on the apron on lap 265 and drifted up the track and into Austin Dillon and Bubba Wallace in an incident that ended up collecting five cars. Bell continued to lead on the restart with 27 laps to go. Carson Hocevar looped it around off Turn 2 which brought out caution. Bell remained out front when the race returned to green with nine laps remaining.
