Christopher Bell held off a hard-charging Noah Gragson to secure his second career victory on Friday Night in Richmond. The final 50 laps were filled with a battle between Bell and his teammate Gragson, who was making his NASCAR XFINITY Series debut. The battle continued as Gragson got as close as he could but he still was unable to pull off the pass and would finish the race in second.
