## Resource

Christopher Bell and his No. 20 team gambled big at Pocono, pitting with 53 laps to go in hopes of finishing on fuel alone — a risky move that briefly put them in contention for victory. But with just four laps left, teammate Denny Hamlin snatched the lead, and Bell’s car sputtered out two laps from the checkered flag, ending in a 26th-place finish. Despite conserving fuel as instructed, the team’s strategy couldn’t overcome dwindling reserves — and Bell’s fractured wrist from a prior crash hampered his ability to make quick adjustments, especially during restarts. Crew chief Adam Stevens acknowledged the tough season and Bell’s physical struggles, but praised his resilience and belief that better luck is ahead. Bell remains confident in his team’s ability to win when everything clicks. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
