SAD NEWS: NASCAR announced that Christopher Bell is Leaving immediately after Facing…..
Christopher Bell won his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series race of the 2025 season, capturing the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix on Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
Bell, who won last week’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, became the first driver since Kevin Harvick in 2018 to win two of the first three races to start a season.
William Byron, who finished second on the first road-course race of 2025, won the season-opening Daytona 500 and triumphed at COTA last year.
Bell’s 11th career Cup Series victory denied Kyle Busch’s valiant attempt to break a 59-race winless streak.
Busch had dominated the final stage and led a race-high 42 laps before being passed by Bell with five laps remaining.
The two-time series champion ended up fading to fifth after using up his tires trying to defend against Bell’s surge.
“Almost deja vu from last year here,” said Bell, who finished second at COTA in 2024. “These road-course races are so much fun.
Kyle (Busch) was leading, and we tried to be so cautious after what happened between us last year.
His car started falling off, and ours was still strong.
I kept thinking, ‘don’t beat yourself.
We didn’t have the superspeedway last week circled, but we certainly had this road course in our sights.”
