Christopher Bell finished in the 26th position for Sunday's Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway. Bell sustained a fractured wrist after a crash in last week's race at Michigan and was riding with a cast in this week's race at Pocono. The No. 20 Toyota driver started the race from 22nd, but did not really have the speed to compete for the win through most of the race. By the end of the first stage, Bell placed 17th, and by the end of the second stage, he moved back to 26th. This means that Bell failed to earn stage points for the race. In the final stage, Bell finally became a factor for the win after first pitting during the final stage on lap 107. After this stop, Bell decided to save fuel and attempt to make the finish without hitting pit road again. Bell held the lead in the late parts of the stage as a result, when others made pit stops later on, and maintained a large gap against Denny Hamlin. However, Bell's pace slowed down to the point where Hamlin erased the gap and then passed him with four laps to go. Bell tried to hold on to the finish, but ran out of fuel with one lap to go, sending him all the way back to his eventual finishing position of 26th. This finish ended up being Bell's lowest finish at Pocono since 2021, and he is now 10th in the regular-season standings after 16 races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
