Bell earns third straight NASCAR Cup win, beating Hamlin by just 0.049s

Christopher Bell was just a few laps away from a fairly calm victory at Phoenix Raceway when the caution flag flew for his teammate Ty Gibbs, who suffered a brake failure. This set-up a two-lap dash to the checkered flag where Bell had to fend off another Joe Gibbs Racing teammate in Denny Hamlin in a dramatic finish.

In ARCA, Brenden 'Butterbean' Queen and Brent Crews battled side-by-side into the final corner for the win on Friday night. In the Xfinity race on Saturday, Aric Almirola and Alex Bowman did the same. Well, Sunday was no different as Bell entered the final corner to the inside of Hamlin, using up a lot of track as they grasped at the lead.
