Christopher Bell spun for a second time during the NASCAR Dover race on July 20.
Bell, who had spun on Lap 260 during the July 20 Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway, spun on the front stretch at Dover on Lap 393. The race had been red-flagged for 56 minutes after rain hit the speedway.
Bell was racing Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin on the low side of the track. Bell got loose coming off Turn 4 and spun through the front stretch. He will be able to continue. Unlike the earlier crash where drivers missed Bell, two drivers were not able to avoid the No. 20 Toyota.
Noah Gragson and William Byron both hit in the inside wall trying to avoid Bell. Both were running toward the front of the field and will drop out of the running.
On the ensuing pit stop, Bell was hit with a pit road speeding penalty.
