Christopher Bell's pit strategy prevented penalties in Las Vegas

yardbarker.com

During the Las Vegas race, Christopher Bell's crew chief, Adam Stevens, made a strategic decision for Bell to pit in Chase Briscoe's stall to tighten a loose wheel. This move prevented a two-lap penalty and a suspension for crew members. The decision was pre-planned, allowing Bell to avoid a penalty after earlier issues plagued the team. Bell ultimately finished in the top 15 despite the challenges faced during the race. This incident raised questions about NASCAR's pit road rules, as Bell's action could prompt a review of regulations regarding pitting in another team's stall.
