Bell cruises to Phoenix Cup win for Toyota, ends Chevy streak
Christopher Bell secured his first 2024 season victory by winning Stage 2 and driving from 20th to first after the final pit stop in the recent race at Phoenix, beating Chris Buescher by 5.465 seconds. His win ended Chevrolet’s three-race winning streak and marked Toyota’s success at a track where it had previously led only 15 laps in four races. Bell strategically pitted during the final caution, which ultimately led to his reclaiming and maintaining the lead for the final 41 laps. Bell’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Ty Gibbs, finished third, with Brad Keselowski in fourth and Ryan Blaney in fifth. Tyler Reddick won Stage 1 by a mere 0.565 seconds, followed by Denny Hamlin, Erik Jones, and Chase Elliott in the top 10.
