Christopher Bell secured his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series victory at COTA, holding off William Byron and Tyler Reddick in a thrilling race.

Bell edged Byron by 0.433 seconds, earning his first career back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series victories. Tyler Reddick, the pole winner, finished third, followed by Chase Elliott, who recovered from an early spin and car damage. Busch, who led the most laps, fell to fifth after late-race contact with Bell.

NASCAR's rising phenom has two wins in seven races on the second-tier Xfinity Series. On Sunday, he debuts at the sport's top level.
