Phoenix Xfinity Qualifying
Round 3 – Report

5 minutes | Run for pole

Can Christopher Bell beat Kyle Busch in qualifying?

Moments into round three, Kyle Busch is the first car to the race track. Busch gets loose on his second lap. He has to catch the car. That’s going to open up the door for someone else! Busch rebounds on his third lap. But, lap two was ideal.

2 minutes remain, Christopher Bell is on track. Lap 1, he jumps to the top of the board and cuts off the engine. One lap is all he needed.

Christopher Bell holds on. He sweeps all three rounds and takes the pole position at ISM Raceway!
