NASCAR Power Rankings: Christopher Bell Has Reason To Smile

Fifth at Sonoma Bell finished fifth in the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday.

Impact One week after his wrist injury led to him stepping out of the car early to let Brent Crews finish the race in San Diego, Bell would run the entire Toyota / Save Mart 350, finishing fifth despite the injury. With an oval next on the schedule, Bell's wrist injury should no longer be a major limiting factor. The series now heads to Chicagoland, where Bell has never raced in the Cup Series, though he does have an ARCA win and two Truck Series Top 5s at the track.

Steps out of car in San Diego Bell started Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Anduril 250 at Naval Base Coronado, but was replaced by Brent Crews at the first caution.
