Bell wins Xfinity Alsco 300

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Christopher Bell couldn’t have started any worse in Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race, which made his impressive victory all the more satisfying.

Bell rallied from the rear of the field after a tire change due to a spin during qualifying.

He steadily worked his way up the field and passed Justin Allgaier with 17 laps remaining, then held off Daniel Hemric to win the 300-mile race at Kentucky Speedway.

Cup Series regular Kyle Busch (Toyota) led three times for a race-high 111 laps and won the first stage but finished third.

Allgaier was fourth in a Chevrolet and pole winner Custer (Ford) fifth.
