Christopher Bell

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Christopher Bell finishes second, his best effort ever at Kansas. Those closing laps we just heard Kyle say he was struggling. Do you feel like if you had a couple more laps you may have had something for him?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: Well, I was surprised that he kind of gave up on the top those last couple laps and pulled down. But I was struggling just as bad as he was, so I was just trying to get to the end. I know Ryan was coming on really strong there.

Overall, to get home second with a lot of stage points was something that we needed after the last couple weeks, and this Reser's Camry was just not quite what we needed.

I don't know, I feel like our day was kind of a product of qualifying well, having good pit stops, having good restarts and nothing really took us out of it. Whenever the long green flag runs came, it seemed like we were going backwards and there were a couple guys that could drive by us.

Yeah, to walk out of here second, I'm really happy with, and hopefully we can be a little bit stronger when we come back.
