Bell gets a victory under caution

Christopher Bell won the NASCAR Truck Series WinStarOnlineGaming.com 400 under caution Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway, having taken the white flag side-by-side with Chase Briscoe before a wreck behind them that left a truck upside down on the front stretch.

After a restart with two laps left, Bell and Briscoe were sideby-side and stayed that way the entire way around the 11⁄2-mile track back to the line. Bell had his No. 4 Toyota only inches and two-thousandths of a second ahead when they got to the white flag. The yellow flag came out right after that, and NASCAR determined on video review that Bell was still ahead at that time.

Because the leaders had already taken the white flag, the race was over.

The caution came out when Austin Self’s truck collided with Timothy Peters, whose truck ended up in the infield grass and flipped over onto its top before sliding along the front stretch and coming to stop on its roof near the finish line.

Peters remained in the truck upside down for several minutes before safety workers turned it upright, and he then walked away to the cheers of fans in the stands.
