Bell rings the bell, Toyota dominates in Phoenix

• The choice of Toyota of the kit for its cars finally seems to be bearing fruit. After introducing a new body at the start of the season (ovals of less than a mile), the Japanese firm found color in Arizona this Sunday.
• In the end this 4^e round of the season came down to unchallenged domination by the Camrys, putting an end to the series of three Chevrolet victories in the opening round. The numbers speak for themselves with 298 of the 312 racing laps led at Phoenix Raceway. Only Todd Gilliland (Front Row Motorsport) allowed another brand, Ford, to be in control. The rest, just Toyotas.
• On the track, Christopher Bell (Joe Gibbs Racing) took advantage of the many racing events which worked in his favor. There was mayhem, especially in the last segment, and some big pieces were not varnished like Joey Logano (Team Penske), hit by John Hunter Nemechek (Legacy Motors Club) and forced to crash. abandonment. Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) lost his chance of victory as he fought against Tyler Reddick (23XI Racing) and Martin Truex Jr. (Joe Gibbs Racing) for the reins.

• This obviously suited Christopher Bell who took the checkerboard after a great performance under the Phoenix sun. “ How good this one is, savored-he. It's not every day that you have the opportunity to have such a good car in your hands. I'm just very proud. I feel like we have the ability to replicate races like this often. I hope this is the first of many this year."
