Christopher Bell battled on a final restart with teammate Sheldon Creed and race leader Cole Custer before coming out victorious in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Bell is now four-for-four in his Xfinity Series starts at The Magic Mile as he won in his first start in the series since 2022.
“That was 100 percent just circumstances there. I really did not do a very good job on the start and got a terrible launch and that allowed Sheldon (Creed) to get into second, and Sheldon ended up getting Cole (Custer) loose off of (turn) four and I had Sheldon’s left rear, and I was able to get to the bottom of three-wide with our Mobil 1 Toyota. (Turns) One and two I felt really good at the bottom, so I felt like I was in a good spot, but that was a hard one for sure. Cole did a good job getting control of the race and getting the lead and he just drove away the third stage. It is never over till it’s over, though.”

Sheldon Creed came home second – his record-tying 10th runner-up finish in the series, while Corey Heim finished 10th. For the Toyota Development Driver, it was his first set of consecutive top-10 finishes in the series and for his team, Sam Hunt Racing, it was their first back-to-back top-10 runs of the season.
