Christopher Bell

Pit Lane Interview

Q. You were coming at the end there. It looked like the 20 car was really fast. Did you just need another lap there?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: Yeah. I mean, obviously once I got to him, it was going to be tough to pass him, but just needed a couple of mistakes. William has been really, really good on the road courses, and he was flawless when it mattered today.

Q. I saw a conversation post-race there with Kyle Busch just a moment ago. Was that about the contact in turn one, and how did that go?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: Yeah. Obviously, he is very upset, which he ended up turned around. First off, I'm sorry to Larson and the 5 car. I got him earlier in the race and by no intention at all. I didn't mean to do that.

K.B. is frustrated about what happened in turn one. I don't know. They were two-wide going in there. I haven't obviously seen a replay yet, but I had no intentions of turning him. I'm sure we'll talk it out before the next race.
