Christopher Bell Taken Out While Leading at Iowa | 2017 XFINITY SERIES | FOX NASCAR

After losing to Monster Energy Series driver Denny Hamlin by a matter of inches last week at Michigan, William Byron was able to finally seal the deal at Iowa Speedway.

“I think we had a first- or second-place car,” said Byron. “We got a little bit loose one run, then we got back on cycle there at the end and we were able to take off. It’s really cool.”

Christopher Bell dominated the race, leading 152 of the 250 laps in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. But that all changed with 30 laps to go in the final stage when Bell slammed into the Turn 1 wall trying to avoid Ryan Reed and Brennan Poole after the two made contact.
