Christopher Bell is the toast of the town today.
Saturday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bell won his second consecutive Chili Bowl after taking the lead with 12 laps to go. Bell overtook Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson, who was leading when his engine expired. The reigning Camping World Truck Series champion, and Oklahoma native, Bell cruised to a three-second win over teammate Rico Abreu.
Congratulations for Bell have been pouring in via social media ever since:
Still hasn’t really sunk in yet what happened tonight but still thankful for another opportunity to race greatly prepared race cars. Congrats @CBellRacing on your 2nd Chili Bowl win. You’re the best racer of our time right now. ??
