Bell's victory also marks the first time a driver has won twice within the first three races of the Cup Series season since Kevin Harvick did so in 2018. That year, Harvick would go on to win eight times in total and make it all the way to the Championship 4 at season's end.

Christopher Bell has won the last two races in the NASCAR Cup Series but has big Championship ambitions as the season moves on.

Daniel Suarez — Finished 36th: “I just hit the curb, hit the ground and then it spun me out. When you have low air pressure, that’s very easy to do because the car is lower to the ground. I wish I could say it was a big mistake, but it wasn’t. It was just maybe a tire width too far to the left, and I hit the curb and I spun out.”
