DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Christopher Bell was brought back to Joe Gibbs Racing this year to fill out the team’s roster of drivers.
Bell chased down Joey Logano on the winding Daytona road course for his first career Cup victory and a coveted spot in NASCAR’s playoffs. Bell was competing in his second race driving for JGR, which loaned him out to Leavine Family Racing last year for his rookie season.
Logano had to settle for second after building a decent lead late in the race. Denny Hamlin was third to give Gibbs two cars in the top three.
Kurt Busch finished fourth and Keselowski wound up fifth for a decent Team Penske rebound.
