Christopher Bell hopes the third time is the charm as he completed a sweep of the pole position in all three first round NASCAR Cup playoff races.
So far, Bell has been unable to translate his playoff poles into wins.
He ended up 23rd at Darlington and finished eighth last weekend at Kansas. His only win this season came at the Bristol Dirt Race in April. The pole is Bell’s fifth this season and ninth of his career. “All the credit goes back to the guys that are putting these cars together,” Bell said. “I tell you, what, that is probably one of the tightest qualifying margins ever.
“This is my favorite race of the year – the Bristol Night Race. I got great starting spot and 500 long laps tomorrow.” Asked if he has a car that has the necessary long-run speed to contend for a win, Bell said, “Absolutely, I do every week. It’s just a matter of execution. The key is putting the whole race together. We’ve been doing a bad job of that. Whenever we do put it all together, good things are going to come.”
