Christopher Bell edged out Carson Hocevar and Kyle Larson in an overtime finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway, securing his 10th NASCAR Cup Series victory. Bell took the lead on the final lap just before a caution light was triggered by a crash involving Josh Berry. Austin Cindric and William Byron had been leading before their wreck set up the overtime. Larson, a former Cup champion, performed strongly after a string of bad luck and managed to win the second stage, while multiple drivers faced setbacks, including Elliott and Suarez who were involved in separate crashes.
"That last lap of the race we were at our best," Bell said.
Austin Cindric led in his Team Penske Ford before he and William Byron wrecked with three laps remaining, setting up the overtime.
Larson's string of bad luck ended Sunday after he qualified only 17th. Larson, the 2021 Cup champion, surged late to win the second stage.
Elliott was in the top 10 when his Hendricks Motorsports Chevrolet hit the wall late in the second stage and then hit Brad Keselowski's RFK Racing's Ford.
