Christopher Bell claimed NASCAR Cup victory at Martinsville to snatch a playoff place, as Ross Chastain rode the wall late on to book his place into the final four 🏁 Full report ⬇️
Bell's only chance of advancing into the final round of the playoffs was in securing victory, and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver came in to pit for new tyres on the final caution, produced by Landon Cassill, and lined up sixth on the restart with 24 of 500 laps remaining.
“I don’t even know what to say. Just thank you so much to everyone on this Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 team. They believed in me since day one. Joining Bell with a chance to win the title at Phoenix are Joey Logano – who was already locked in by virtue of a win at Las Vegas, Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain, who made a stunning last-ditch move riding the Turns 3 and 4 walls with the throttle wide open to capture fifth.
