No. 20 DEWALT Toyota Camry News and Notes:
Bell at Talladega: Christopher Bell will make his third NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start at Talladega Superspeedway (TSS) this weekend. In his first NCS start at TSS he had a fast Camry and with around 30 laps remaining he led the field to the restart. Bell accidently pushed another car below the yellow line while trying to team up with a drafting partner and had to serve a pass-through penalty under green, losing a lap to the field. Bell suffered some damage on an accident coming to the checkered flag, crossing the finish line 29th. In his second NCS start at TSS Bell suffered a flat tire on lap once which caused him to hit the wall, the damage was too severe to continue and resulted in a 39th-place finish.
Bell’s History at Talladega: Bell has two prior NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) starts at Talladega earning one top-five and one top-10 finish. In addition to his NXS races, Bell has three prior NASCAR Truck Series starts at TSS earning one pole, one top-five and two top-10 finishes.

A caution during a cycle of green flag pit stops caught him in the “lucky dog” position but Bell worked his way back up through traffic and into the top five, ultimately crossing the finish line fourth in his No. 20 Toyota Camry.
