I felt really strong. Felt like the DeWalt Camry was doing a lot of things right. Yeah, just, I don't know, beginning of the race, I couldn't do that. I couldn't get through the restarts and couldn't maintain my track position. And I felt like once we got separated, even early in the race, I'm like, man, if I could just break through, I think I could be okay. And I thought I'd have really good pace. Just took a long time to get to show it. So Adam Stevens, everyone on this number 20 team did a great job today." Christopher Bell added:"I mean, it's just, it's a road course. And my guys have been doing, my guys have been doing really good on the road courses. They bring, they bring really fast race cars. And this one, you know, races a little bit more like the Ovals than the other ones. So yeah, just happy with, happy with our car performance here every time we come here. And I think that's why we get good finishes."During the 2025 Go Bowling at The Glen, Christopher Bell was impressive as he fought his way during the 90-lap race.
