Here is what drivers had to say after Sunday’s Cup race at Circuit of the Americas:

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.
