Christopher Bell hopes to 'pull another rabbit out of the hat" after unlucky end to NASCAR Las Vegas outing
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell had an unlucky day at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Sunday.
He was an unwitting spectator at Bubba Wallace Jr. and Kyle Larsson on lap 94, jeopardizing Bell's opening championship hopes.

but revived his championship hopes with an impressive victory. To proceed to round 8.
He would repeat the same performance in the remaining two races of the round at Homestead-Miami Speedway and Martinsville Speedway.

"The good thing is that I feel better winning one of those two races than winning the Roval.
We have very, very strong Camrys right now - all year round indeed. Let's see if we can get another one off the cap." Rabbits can be taken out."
