HAMPTON, Ga. — Continuing the trend he started in stage one, Christopher Bell led every lap of stage two in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway to collect his second-straight stage win.

Bell dominated a 26-lap run to end the second stage, pulling out to another multi-second lead over team owner and teammate Kyle Busch to pick up 10 more bonus points towards the Truck Series championship chase.

The Oklahoma native led every lap of the race overall before being overhauled by Busch in the second round of yellow flag pit stops, having held the point for 83 consecutive circuits in his No. 4 JBL Toyota Tundra.

The only caution during the 40 laps of stage two came on lap 50, when the engine expired on Akinori Ogata’s truck and fluid was dropped on the race track as a result.

Behind Bell and Busch, Ben Rhodes finished third ahead of Timothy Peters and Matt Crafton.

Johnny Sauter, Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Ross Chastain and Brett Moffitt completed the top 10 and scored points at the end of the second stage.
