Christopher Bell

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Christopher, I know you had a lot of debate on the radio about lane choice a couple restarts ago. You were racing the 22 hard, chose a different lane than maybe you wanted to. You see Joey Logano in Victory Lane. Is this a matter of what could have been from one small choice?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: Yeah, this place is awesome. This place is absolutely awesome. I love Bristol.

Q. Tonight your points, obviously you come in a little bit better off now leaving than you were when you came in. Not a huge change, but does it feel like you're keeping yourself in the game?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: I mean, this is just awesome. The points are great. We lost a position to Joey but we gained on the lead. I think we were minus 18 coming in, minus 17; keeping ourselves in it.

Bristol is just the best. I mean, you've got to be here.
