Starting 32nd, Christopher Bell needed 408 miles to reach the front for his first victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led only the final lap Sunday of a race that went five laps past its scheduled distance in overtime on the 1.54-mile oval. Bell became the 15th leader in a race that featured a track-record 50 lead changes (breaking the previous mark of 48 last year). In the wake of William Byron’s second consecutive Daytona 500 win, the first two races this season have ended on a last-lap pass.
