Christopher Bell's victory at Homestead sends him to a second straight Championship 4, with two of the final four spots now claimed.
knows that typically a driver doesn't have a chance to win every week and after finishing less than a tenth-of-a-second short seven days earlier at Las Vegas, he figured he had blown his opportunity to make the championship round with a win.
But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver used a gritty performance on a day when at one point he was 22nd as he rallied for the victory, qualifying him to be among the four drivers with a shot to win the championship Nov. 5 at Phoenix Raceway. "I let my emotions get to me, that's for sure," Bell said with a laugh afterward."Normally, I don't do that.
"I was hoping to just time it to be right to his back bumper. I just misjudged that. Even if he was to pit road speed a little early, I should have just been able to be a little bit more cautious to have some room for error. I'm just upset at myself for that. I hope he's able to salvage a good finish."Hamlin Wreck Leaves Him Perplexed
