Christopher Bell has been one spot short of Victory Lane this season. A bunch of times, actually.

In fact, no one has finished second more often in a season without winning a race than Bell, who tied Harry Gant’s 1981 record with a seventh runner-up finish Sunday at Iowa Speedway.

“This is what you call a bad second-place finish,” Bell told USA Sports after climbing from his No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Seven runner-up efforts just leave a driver with different emotions than others. Here’s a look at each time Bell finished second this year and how he felt after the race.

Phoenix Raceway: March 8

Race winner: Ryan Blaney

Margin of victory: 0.399 seconds

What happened: The fourth race of the season produced an incredible performance by Bell and the No. 20 team. Bell led 176 laps, finished second in Stage 1 and won Stage 2 in what appeared to be a day built for his first trip to Victory Lane this year.

Instead, a double whammy of late cautions upended Bell’s hopes of winning his third consecutive Phoenix spring race. A Lap 288 caution for Austin Dillon brought the field to pit road for their final service of the day, with Ryan Blaney, Ty Gibbs and others electing to take two tires while Bell’s crew opted for four Goodyears.

Bell restarted eighth with 19 laps to go, but the ensuing restart resulted in another quick caution after a multicar crash on the backstretch. That yellow took more time away from Bell to catch Blaney, who escaped to win while Bell was only able to climb back to second place.

Quote: “Ultimately, if we had more green-flag laps, I think we could have made a run at him, but I don’t know. You win some and lose some, and this one stings.”

Charlotte Motor Speedway: May 24

Race winner: Daniel Suárez

Margin of victory: Under caution (rain)

What happened: After leading 44 laps and collecting stage points in two of the three stages — including a Stage 3 victory — Bell was fighting for the win late in the Coca-Cola 600 with rain looming on the radar. After a caution flag waved for lightning inside the final 50 laps, Daniel Suárez’s No. 7 team opted to take two tires while the rest of the field took four. Suárez leaped to the lead alongside Bell for the restart.

Another brief spat of rain washed over the speedway to trigger another yellow flag, but Bell maintained in second spot. When the green flag waved for the final time, Bell held serve and drew to Suárez’s back bumper, but Bell’s teammate Denny Hamlin wasn’t letting either get away. Hamlin and Bell slammed doors battling for second, allowing Suárez to gap the JGR duo and win the Coke 600 after a final dose of rain ended the race 27 laps early.

Quote: “Just a bummer. Wasn’t meant to be today. It’s 2026 for us. … After the first restart, I knew that (Suárez) couldn’t get clear and I was going to have to stay beside him. And I just couldn’t stay beside him. He cleared me, and once he cleared me, I knew it was going to be a really tough pass with it being a short run.”

Nashville Superspeedway: May 31

Race winner: Denny Hamlin

Margin of victory: 0.115 seconds

What happened: Bell led the field to the restart zone with four laps to go, with JGR teammate Chase Briscoe to his right on the front row and Denny Hamlin in tow. Bell got the clear launch and looked to be setting sail toward win No. 1 of the season.

Instead, Hamlin caught Bell by the exit of Turn 2 and jumped to Bell’s left and ran side-by-side with the No. 20 for each of the next two laps. That allowed Briscoe to draft up to the duo and jump to the high side in a three-wide JGR sandwich at the white flag.

Bell shot through the middle on entry to Turn 1 on the final lap but washed high, allowing Hamlin to power through to the lead and the victory, leaving Bell to settle in second after leading 29 laps.

Quote: “There is nobody to blame, no circumstances. It was all completely in my hands, and I dropped the ball. There is literally nobody that had anything to do with losing the race but me, and it sucks.”

Chicagoland Speedway: July 5

Race winner: Chase Briscoe

Margin of victory: 0.276 seconds

What happened: Bell only led one lap in the Fourth of July weekend special, but his charge up the leaderboard had him hounding the back bumper of Briscoe’s Toyota for the final handful of laps.

Rallying to third before the final round of green-flag pit stops, Bell eventually charged past William Byron for second and set his sights on Briscoe. Bell surged to Briscoe’s bumper multiple times in the closing two laps, but Briscoe eventually hung on to score his first win of the year and leave Bell winless again.

Quote: “It was a great day. … Toyotas are fast. It seems like a monkey can drive them, so it’s just disappointing when you get beat by another monkey. … Just a second-place driver, man.”

Rachel Horton | NASCAR Digital Media

EchoPark Speedway: July 12

Race winner: Ryan Blaney

Margin of victory: 0.068 seconds

What happened: Bell didn’t have the dominant car at the 1.5-mile drafting track outside of Atlanta, but he did have a car capable of contending for the win.

The bad news is that the main driver he had to battle was Ryan Blaney, who led an incredible 171 of 263 laps to score his second win of 2026. Bell took the checkered flag third but advanced to second after Bubba Wallace was penalized for passing beneath the double-painted line — out of bounds — on the back straightaway on the final lap in a move to advance his position.

Bell led five laps in this race and nabbed four stage points in the process after starting 32nd.

Quote: “I found myself in the right lane, that’s for sure, to be on the outside. (P2) is really good. … It was about as good as I was gonna get. Ryan was super fast. His car was super fast. He could pass and lead lanes and do really good. Really happy with that. Our Rheem Camry was driving really good. Just had a fun day. It was a really fun race.”

Indianapolis Motor Speedway: July 26

Race winner: Corey Heim

Margin of victory: 0.287 seconds

What happened: Bell’s Brickyard 400 bid began in the middle of the field with a 23rd-place qualifying effort, but a methodical effort through the field and from the pit box helped Bell climb the leaderboard at Indianapolis.

A caution at Lap 114 brought the field to pit road one final time, and Stevens opted for a two-tire stop, rocketing Bell from 14th to fourth for the impending restart. Another quick caution set Bell second on the inside lane — behind Hamlin and in front of Briscoe — but ill-timed shoves allowed rookie and part-timer Corey Heim to surge ahead and take command of the race for the final 35 circuits.

With Hamlin sinking, Bell struck for second on Hamlin’s outside down the backstretch before beginning his hunt of Heim. Bell waited for Heim to make a mistake, but that mistake never came, leading Heim to score his second career win and first crown-jewel victory.

Quote: “This is a good second place. We’ve had a lot of bad second-place finishes, but this one’s a good one. We were buried after qualifying, and Adam (Stevens, crew chief) did a great job with strategy to get us up there. And whenever we had the restart on the second row, I was really happy with our position. Proud of Adam, proud of this team. We pulled together a really good day. We’ve run second a lot. There’s been bad seconds. But this one’s a pretty good second.”

Iowa Speedway: Aug. 9

Race winner: Ty Gibbs

Margin of victory: 0.253 seconds

What happened: Another middling qualifying effort in 22nd didn’t stop Bell from charging forward to score massive stage points — including a Stage 2 victory — and become the race’s dominant car in the second half of the event.

Bell led 108 laps Sunday — the second-most, fittingly — and appeared on his way to finally breaking the drought that has kept him winless since the Bristol Night Race in September 2025.

Instead, a four-tire call by Adam Stevens allowed second-place Ty Gibbs and his crew chief Tyler Allen to leapfrog Bell during green-flag pit stops. Gibbs’ No. 54 Toyota set sail despite Bell’s best efforts — including multiple dives on yet another JGR teammate in the closing laps — leading to Gibbs’ second win of the year and of his career.

Quote: “This is what you call a bad second-place finish for sure. I don’t know what else to say. Ty did a really good job. He did a great job managing the race. I could tell that he was slipping and sliding around. Similar to two weeks ago with Corey Heim, he just didn’t make a mistake. So … P2.”

Aug. 12: All-Star Race returns to North Wilkesboro

The NASCAR All-Star Race will be on the move yet again in 2027, returning to a fan-favorite spot, North Wilkesboro Speedway. The 0.625-mile asphalt oval in the picturesque North Carolina foothills hosted the NASCAR Cup Series’ exhibition event from 2023-2025 before putting on a points-paying race this season when Dover Motor Speedway was the site of the All-Star Race.

But it’s back to Wilkes County for the midsummer classic, with the May 23 event to be televised on FOX Sports. As part of a national-series tripleheader slate, the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will race at the track for the first time since 1985, doing so on May 22 and airing on The CW. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, meanwhile, will run on May 21, on FOX Sports.

Kyle Larson (2023), Joey Logano (2024) and Christopher Bell (2025) were past winners of the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro, with each taking home the $1 million prize. Logano was also the winner in this season’s Window World 450 in the first points-paying race at the track since 1996.

Aug. 11: More in store for Martinsville Speedway in 2027

The NASCAR schedule is set again to make two visits to historic Martinsville Speedway in 2027, with a springtime showdown bookended by a now-traditional return in the fall as the next-to-last race of the season for all three national series.

The 0.526-mile Virginia track will again tee up NASCAR championship weekend with the penultimate races of 2027 slated Nov. 5-7 for the Cup Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. The Cup and O’Reilly Series will also convene for a doubleheader Martinsville meet on April 17-18.

Martinsville is due for a tripleheader NASCAR weekend this year on Oct. 30-Nov. 1, one week before national-series champions are crowned in the season finales at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Aug. 11: Double dates due up for Darlington, including 2027 regular-season finale

Darlington Raceway is back on the 2027 NASCAR schedule for two dates, including a crucial event that will determine the Cup Series’ Chase field.

The historic 1.366-mile oval will keep its cherished Labor Day weekend slot next year, with the Southern 500 to be run Sunday, Sept. 5. The traditional date also coincides with the end of the Cup Series’ 26-race regular season, with the crown-jewel event primed to set the 16-driver grid in next year’s Chase.

Darlington’s 2027 calendar opens with a tripleheader weekend April 2-4, with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Craftsman Truck Series joining the Cup Series on the springtime bill. The O’Reilly Series returns to the South Carolina venue to take part in the Labor Day festivities, with its regular-season finale scheduled Sept. 4.

This year’s last remaining trip to Darlington will open The Chase for both the Cup and O’Reilly Series, with the Cook Out Southern 500 on Sunday, Sept. 6 (5 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) and the Fleetio 200 on Saturday, Sept. 5 (7:30 p.m. ET, The CW, ESPN Unlimited, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Aug. 10: Las Vegas doubles down with early test, Chase date in 2027

Las Vegas Motor Speedway returns to the 2027 schedule rotation with two NASCAR weekends next year, providing an early-season challenge and a prime spot in The Chase postseason.

The 1.5-mile Nevada track is slated for the fifth Cup Series race of the season on March 21, then returns to the schedule in the 10-race Chase on Oct. 10, slotting in as the fifth event of the NASCAR Cup Series postseason. Both races replicate the Las Vegas track’s placement on the 2026 calendar.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will stage preliminary races at each Las Vegas weekend, with the Oct. 9 visit serving as that circuit’s fourth Chase event.

Both series have postseason dates at Vegas coming up on the 2026 schedule – the South Point 400 for the Cup Series on Oct. 4 (5:30 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, PRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), preceded by the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series’ Focused Health 302 on Oct. 3 (7:30 p.m. ET, The CW, ESPN Unlimited, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Aug. 6: New Hampshire returns to Chase rotation next season

NASCAR will soak in fall in New England next year, placing New Hampshire Motor Speedway back in the Chase postseason with a Sept. 25-26 race weekend on the 2027 schedule.

The 1.058-mile oval in Loudon, New Hampshire, will host the third Chase race for the NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday, Sept. 26, 2027, with broadcast coverage from USA Sports. That race follows the opening Chase event for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, which has the EJP 175 slotted for Saturday, Sept. 25.

Next year will mark the 16th time that New Hampshire has hosted a postseason Cup Series race.

This year’s NHMS stop comes Aug. 23 (3 p.m. ET, USA Sports, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) as the next-to-last race in the Cup Series regular season.

Aug. 6: Traditional dog days of August beckon for Bristol Night Race in 2027

Bristol Motor Speedway will return to a traditional date for its under-the-lights showdown next year, setting the annual night race for Aug. 14 on the 2027 NASCAR schedule.

The nighttime event will be the 23rd of 26 races in the Cup Series regular season, capping a tripleheader NASCAR weekend. The 0.533-mile Tennessee track will also host the three NASCAR national series April 9-11 for its yearly springtime event.

Bristol has been part of the postseason rotation since 2020, including this year’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19 (7:30 p.m. ET, USA Sports, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The evening event has been a fixture on the schedule since 1978, typically occupying a mid- to late-August slot on the NASCAR calendar before its recent shift to a playoff position.

Both race weekends in 2027 will be tripleheaders, with the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Craftsman Truck Series joining the bill with the Cup Series next year.

Aug. 4: Two race weekends on tap for EchoPark Speedway in 2027

EchoPark Speedway near Atlanta will host a pair of NASCAR race weekends next season, with Cup Series events scheduled for Feb. 28 and July 18 in 2027.

The 1.54-mile track, which features superspeedway-style racing on an intermediate-sized circuit, will again be slotted as host of the Autotrader 400, the second points-paying race of the Cup Series schedule with coverage from FOX Sports. Its summertime date, capped by the Cup Series’ Dollar Tree 400, is set to be part of TNT Sports’ Cup Series broadcast schedule.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will join the Cup Series for both Atlanta weekends for the first time since 2008. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series is set to visit EchoPark Speedway in February, creating a tripleheader weekend for all three NASCAR national tours. The track indicated that start times will be announced at a later date.

The high-speed Georgia venue has been entrenched on NASCAR’s major-league schedule since 1960. After a 10-year stretch of hosting one Cup Series weekend each season, EchoPark has been the site of two annual stops on the schedule each year since 2021.

RICHMOND, Va. — Chase Briscoe had seemingly done everything right Saturday night at Richmond Raceway, leading laps by the dozens and keeping the rest of the NASCAR Cup Series field at bay at a track that had been one of his tallest hurdles. The few little things that went wrong unraveled in a handful of pivotal green-flag stints.

Strategies swirled in the final stage, but Briscoe and Logano were roughly adhering to the same game plan. The upper hand, however, went to Logano at a crucial moment.

“Yeah, I thought my car was really, really good and just that second-to-last or before that final pit stop, I just started losing brakes and got really, really loose, and I gave up a three-second lead,” Briscoe said. “If I could have had any buffer at all, I felt like I would have probably won the race just because I definitely was better than him that final run. But just yeah, gave up way too much time that one run, and that was ultimately the difference maker.”

The result still produced marked improvement for Briscoe at Richmond, a venue he’s called “a huge struggle.” Nine previous starts here — eight with Stewart-Haas Racing and one in his debut season last year at JGR — had failed to yield a top-10 finish.

His No. 19 team has had a star-crossed relationship with the 0.75-mile track, especially during Martin Truex Jr.’s tenure with the team. Truex won here three times in the No. 19 Toyota, but his record — and the team’s — also includes a significant share of near-misses, with strong performances that didn’t convert into Victory Lane visits. Saturday night felt like more of the latter.

“I love this place, but lost far many more races here than you know we’ve won, and we’ve won quite a lot,” No. 19 crew chief James Small told NASCAR.com. “So yeah, it’s disappointing. So second, in the scheme of things is a great result, but right now it’s really disappointing because we had the better car and we didn’t win.”

Those results predated Briscoe’s time with the team, but the sentiment was shared.

“I’ve watched Martin obviously lead a ton of laps here, and there’s been times where it’s kind of fell apart at the very end. A little bit of that, I guess,” Briscoe said. “I mean, we didn’t fall apart. We just, honestly, just had one run where we gave up three seconds, and that was the difference maker. So yeah, I think James even said on the radio, if you would have told me going into this week I could run second and top three in both stages, I would have gladly taken it. So, still a lot to be proud of, just … winning is great. To have one be that close and not get it, it’s frustrating.”

Logano was Briscoe’s strongest competition late, but the 31-year-old driver noted that Team Penske’s challenge was organization-wide. Ryan Blaney flexed his strength early from the pole position before fading to 13th place at the end, and teammate Austin Cindric produced a season-best result in third.

Briscoe ultimately tipped his cap to Logano, who has made a habit of second-half surges in seasons past.

“I thought I was in a Penske sandwich there for a lot of the race,” Briscoe said. “I think it was that start of Stage 2, it was literally all four of them, and I was the only one in the top five outside of them. So yeah, I knew that the Penske cars were going to be really, really good all night long, and yeah, it showed. I mean, they were good early in the race, good at the end of the race, and yeah, just typical late-summer Joey Logano just coming up out of nowhere on you. So yeah, just go on to the next one and see what we can do.”

The all-time list of NASCAR Cup Series winners starts with Richard Petty (200 wins) and includes more than 60 drivers who won just a single time at NASCAR’s top level.

Below is the list of all-time winners, in order, in the Cup Series.

Last update: After Race 24 of the 2026 season (Richmond Raceway).

Active drivers in ALL CAPS

RICHMOND, Va. — While so much of the early season NASCAR Cup Series championship storylines centered on 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, as the regular season winds down, subplots and new characters have arrived, changing the competitive outlook.

Only two races remain to set the 16-driver field for the 10-race Chase to award the 2026 trophy. Up next is the New Hampshire Motor Speedway mile hosting Sunday’s Dollar Tree 301 (3 p.m. ET on USA Network, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Certainly, Saturday night under the Richmond Raceway bright lights and in front of the sold-out grandstands, a three-time series champion reminded again that he is among those ready to prove this title is still very much up for grabs.

Joey Logano’s win was a strong statement on several levels — and his resiliency this season is indicative of the strength of this championship field and a lesson in never counting out anyone — especially one of the most successful drivers from one of the most heralded organizations in Team Penske.

Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe, who kept Logano honest all night and led a race high 171 of the 400 laps to finish runner-up — earned his first career top 10 on a short track. As importantly, it gives Briscoe — who is ranked fifth in the standings — plenty of confidence heading into The Chase.

His JGR teammate Christopher Bell has also been on a summer surge. A week ago at Iowa, he claimed his seventh runner-up finish, and Saturday night, he led laps and finished seventh at Richmond for his sixth top-10 finish in the last seven races. He’s seventh in the rankings.

Hendrick Motorsports had a similarly encouraging day for its title contenders with Larson getting back in the championship groove after an uncharacteristically “off” summer run. His sixth-place showing at Richmond was his first top 10 since Sonoma at the end of June.

Larson’s teammates, Chase Elliott (fifth place) and William Byron (ninth) also had strong Richmond showings. It was Elliott’s first top 10 in the last 11 races and only Byron’s second top 10 in the last five races. They ranked sixth and 12th, respectively in the championship.

“Obviously it’s not a win, but for how things have been going the last few months, it feels nice to just have a really solid night and hopefully we can get things rolling in the right direction,” the 2020 series champion Elliott said. “There’s been a lot of hard work put in across the board; everyone on this No. 9 Chevrolet team and Hendrick Motorsports. I appreciate that effort. Everyone shows up with it each week, even after a bad day, so hopefully we can get things rolling here.”

Of course, not to be overlooked — or underestimated — were Hamlin and Reddick who reminded Saturday at Richmond that they are up for the challenges coming their way. Hamlin, who holds a 115-point edge over Penske’s Ryan Blaney atop the championship, finished fourth at his home track — his fifth top-five finish in the last six races.

And for Reddick, who won five of the season’s opening nine races, including the Daytona 500, an 11th-place finish and laps led at Richmond marked a timely resurgence after an excruciating summer run that’s included five finishes of 25th or worse in the last eight races. He’s still ranked fourth with two races to go before the points are reset for the 2026 Chase run.

Opening practice at New Hampshire Motor Speedway is set for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET, followed by Busch Light Pole Qualifying at 11:35 a.m. ET (both on truTV, PRN Radio and SiriusXM). Logano is the defending pole-winner and Blaney the defending race winner.
