Wins Bank of America ROVAL 400 Bell won the Bank of America ROVAL 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.
Impact Bell would not become a factor until late in this important playoff race. The No. 20 Toyota team would take advantage of a late caution to pit for fresh rubber all the way around. Bell would then methodically carve his way through the field to catch and pass Kevin Harvick for the lead with 2 laps to go. He would drive away from the veteran driver of the No. 4 Ford and extend out to a margin of 1.79-seconds at the checkered flag. It was Bell's second win of the season and third of his career. He automatically advances into the Round of 8 of the Chase as a result.

Bell will be a Top-5 threat in Sunday's playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway.
