NASCAR: Christopher Bell wins his third straight race of 2025 at Phoenix

The NASCAR Cup Collection season is 4 races outdated and Christopher Bell has already achieved one thing no Cup driver has achieved in 5 seasons.

Bell gained his third straight race of 2025 when he beat his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin in a two-lap dash to the end. The 2-lap restart was arrange by a warning for Ty Gibbs, one other Joe Gibbs Racing automobile.

After crashing out within the Daytona 500, Bell gained at Atlanta and every week in the past on the Circuit of the Americas. Bell is the primary driver since Kevin Harvick to win three Cup races in a row. Harvick, like Bell, gained the second, third and fourth races of the season in 2018.

Bell was comfortably main when Gibbs hit the wall however Hamlin was in a position to cling with him on the restart. On the ultimate lap, Bell had the sting down the backstretch and pushed Hamlin out large within the ultimate two corners to get the victory.

Kyle Larson completed third and Josh Berry completed fourth forward of Chris Buescher in fifth.

Bell led a race-high 103 laps and was the clear driver to beat after he labored his technique to the entrance as quickly because the race started.

Sunday’s race included a softer choice tire for groups as NASCAR and Goodyear regarded for a tire compound to make use of at Phoenix in November for the championship race. Groups had two units of the sooner however much less sturdy choice tire and and the velocity distinction was clear when a driver can be on choice tires towards different vehicles on the first tire round him.

Ryan Preece began on the choice tire and picked his manner via the sphere. However by beginning on that tire, Preece had only one set remaining for the remainder of the 312-lap race. Most groups used their choice tires on the identical time and Bell and the remainder of the leaders completed the race on the first tire after a warning got here out with lower than 40 laps to go when many of the high 10 was on the choice tire.

It appears probably the choice tire would be the tire NASCAR makes use of for the title race. The tire didn’t have precipitous fall-off although it was nonetheless far much less sturdy than the first tire. It might add one other ingredient of tire technique for the 4 drivers racing for the title in eight months.

You may wager closely that Bell shall be one of many 4 drivers racing for the title.

Bell has been part of the ultimate 4 in three of the final 4 seasons and has established himself as the highest driver at Joe Gibbs Racing. Sure, even forward of Hamlin, essentially the most profitable driver in Cup Collection historical past to not win a Cup title.

Bell doesn’t have a Cup title both. But. It seems like solely a matter of time, nevertheless. Sunday’s victory was his twelfth of his profession and he’s completed no decrease than fifth within the standings since he was twelfth in 2021.

A bunch of drivers had been taken out in the course of the second stage when Justin Haley and Chase Briscoe made contact.

Longtime sports activities automobile and IndyCar racer Katherine Legge grew to become the primary girl to begin a Cup Collection race since Danica Patrick at Phoenix. She was concerned in two cautions.

The primary got here simply laps into the race when Legge spun by herself off Flip 2 whereas working final. The second was extra expensive, particularly for Daniel Suarez.

As Legge was getting lapped within the third stage, she washed up into Berry’s automobile and spun round after the 2 drivers made contact. Suarez had nowhere to go and drove straight into Legge’s automobile.

The race was Legge’s first NASCAR begin on an oval since she raced within the Xfinity Collection at Richmond in 2018. She completed thirtieth. Suarez completed twenty third after he was working within the high 10 earlier than the crash.
