Christopher Bell stops run of misfortune with pole qualifying run at Kansas Speedway
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Christopher Bell put four trying weeks of crashes and misfortune behind him Saturday, posting the fastest time in qualifying at Kansas Speedway to earn the pole for the third time in his last five NASCAR Cup Series visits to the track. Bell turned a lap of 183.107 mph in his No. 20 for Joe Gibbs Racing, putting it on the front row alongside Ross Chastain for Sunday’s race. Noah Gragson and Kyle Larson will start a row behind them, while Kyle Busch qualified fifth. “I’m not looking for a race win. I’m literally looking to see a checkered flag,” Bell said with a smile. “My car has great capability. If I can see the checkered flag, we have the possibility of having a great day.” That checkered flag hasn’t been flying much for Bell lately.

That’s why the Kansas Department of Transportation and The Drive To Zero Coalition want to remind drivers and bicyclists they share responsibility in safety. May is Bicycle Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of safe bicycling all year long.
