The last three laps were a three-man race between Bell, William Byron and Tyler Reddick, who make up the last three winners of this race.
The Daytona 500 winner in Byron did everything he could to get at Bell, and when Bell cleared Busch, Oklahoma driver had to make a desperate bid to keep his Joe Gibbs racing Toyota in front of Hard Charging Byron in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and 2023 Race-Winden Reddick from 23×1 Racing’s Toyota.

But in his efforts to take his second consecutive Echopark victory (Bell entered the second last year), Bell was able to keep up for the victory immediately.
“These road course races are just so funny,” Bell said. “(Busch) did such a good job of running his run. He bobbled and let me get out in front of. When he did it, I just didn’t say beat yourself.”
It is the first time since 2023 that a NASCAR driver has won back-to-back races when Byron brought home the Penzoil 400 and United Rentals Working United 500 that march.
