Bell takes the lead late in the race and prevails in a race that three playoff drivers didn't finish.
“I can't even say I was thinking of a win at any point in the day except maybe the last 10 laps,” Bell said.

Ryan Blaney made impact with an inside wall at Nashville Superspeedway that had no SAFER barrier and left the Team Penske driver saying it was the “hardest hit” he’s had. Blaney crashed on lap 147 of Sunday night’s race as the field came to a restart.
