Christopher Bell: Top-10 Finish at Phoenix

Bell finished ninth in Sunday's Instacart 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

Analysis:

The Joe Gibbs Racing youngster turned in another steady and impressive performance at the one-mile Arizona oval Sunday. Bell started up front and raced within the Top 10 much of the day. The No. 20 Toyota wasn't fast enough to push forward and challenge the leaders, but Bell would race among the Top 10 steadily. After 312 laps at this challenging oval he would hold off Ryan Blaney to collect ninth-place. It was Bell's third Top-10 finish and a continued strong start to this early-season.
