Christopher Bell

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Christopher Bell has to settle for second. Late in that run, your team was telling you you were close on the fuel window and to start lifting. That last lap, Adam Stevens coming out and saying, flip your switch and go. Do you feel like if you had gotten that command a little bit earlier, it would have made a difference?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: I don't know.

Q. How do you come to terms with how that race finished then?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: I got a lot closer than I thought I was going to.

Q. Is this the missed opportunity you guys needed to go for the title, or will you have opportunities as we head to Phoenix and beyond?

CHRISTOPHER BELL: I mean, we should be really good at the next couple of races. Yeah, hopefully we can keep bringing these fast race cars and see what happens.
