2023 NASCAR Cup Series - Food City Dirt Race

NASCAR meets dirt once again as the drivers face each other at the Bristol dirt track for the Food City Dirt Race amid Easter festivities. No easter eggs here. Just dirt.

As the green flag waved, the dirt action in Bristol is on with an early caution triggered when the two cars got spun and the #22 hits the barrels as well as heavy contact between Josh Berry and Denny Hamlin. As Kyle Larson wins Stage 1 under caution, Stage 2 saw more action with Ryan Preece's drama as well as Michael McDowell's 360-degree save, and with Tyler Reddick winning Stage 2, the final stage saw disaster for Kyle Larson and a climactic battle between Christopher Bell and Tyler Reddick.

As the caution's triggered at the final lap following an incident and with Bell leading, it's official. Christopher Bell wins the Food City Dirt Race of the NASCAR Cup Series!

The next race is at Martinsville for the NOCO 400 this April 16th.
