Stage 1 Recap (Laps 1-60)
  • Christopher Bell started 22nd Sunday afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway in this No. 95 Rheem Toyota Camry.
  • On lap one the right rear tire suddenly went flat and caused the No. 95 to unexpectedly spin.
  • Bell got the car to pit road, but after contact from the wall and another competitor. The team tried to patch up the No. 95 and return to the track, but the damage was too severe. The contact and spin had caused damage to the trackbar and driveshaft, resulting in a 39th-place finish.
