Cup Series regular Christopher Bell holds off Cole Custer to win Xfinity Series race at Darlington

Associated Press  

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Christopher Bell thought his chance to win at Darlington Raceway was over — twice. Instead, Bell held on to win the Xfinity Series event and give himself a chance to sweep the weekend at Darlington in the Southern 500 on Sunday night. “I’ve learned that plenty of times.” Bell, the NASCAR Cup Series regular who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, had the most dominant car the entire race, leading 103 of the first 137 laps. “Darlington is such a tough racetrack.” Bell, who started from the pole, claimed his 19th career Xfinity win and his second this season after taking NASCAR’s Triple-A event at New Hampshire in June. “It was fun racing Christopher there.” Bell has won three times on the Cup Series and looks to add to that total at the Southern 500 on Sunday night.
