Bell earns first win, bonus in Bristol

BRISTOL, TENN.

Christopher Bell earned his first career Bristol Motor Speedway victory and a $100,000 bonus with the Xfinity Series win Saturday.

Bell got his second victory of the season, his 10th in 48 starts, by passing Brandon Jones with 17 laps remaining. Jones had a tire issue that sent him to the wall and then to pit road, and Bell didn’t have another challenger in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Bell led 57 laps and was competing for the bonus against Tyler Reddick, Chase Briscoe and Michael Annett. Bell, Reddick, Cole Custer and Briscoe all qualified to race for the $100,000 bonus next weekend at Richmond Raceway.
