Fifth-Place at Charlotte Bell finished fifth in the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday evening.
Impact Bell continued his strong performances this season on the intermediate ovals. He'd start up front with the leaders and remain there most of the night, collecting third- and 10th-place stage finishes. Bell couldn't seem to wrestle the lead away at any point, but he'd stay in contention until the end of 600-miles of action. The frantic finish would see Bell hold off Tyler Reddick to secure his fourth Top 5 of the season, and extend his current Top-10 streak to four races.
