Christopher Bell’s Thrilling Overtime Victory Extends Perfect Streak at New Hampshire

Christopher Bell continued his dominance at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, clinching a thrilling overtime victory in Saturday’s SciAps 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race. With a bold three-wide pass in the final two corners, Bell secured his fourth win in four starts at the track, edging out teammate Sheldon Creed by just 0.254 seconds.
