Out Of Control Bell Lands Darlington Xfinity Pole
Written by I Dig Sports
DARLINGTON, S.C. Driving a Toyota sponsored by Sport Clips for Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, Christopher Bell won the pole for Saturdays Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway.
Bell turned a lap of 29.911 seconds at 164.408 mph to claim his first pole of the season and his second in five races at the 1.366-mile track.
I felt pretty good about it through one and two and in three and four I felt completely out of control down there, Bell said of his lap. Looking at the guys that were qualifying after me they were able to maintain through one and two and I guess I had a pretty good three and four. Out of control is fast.
Brandon Jones qualified second in another JGR Toyota, while a third JGR driver, Taylor Gray, was fourth.
Justin Allgaier was one of three JR Motorsports Chevrolet drivers in the top six, grabbing the third spot. His teammates, Sam Mayer and Carson Kvapil, will start fifth and sixth, respectively.
