The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Food City Dirt Race is finally done and dusted. The eighth race of the season started at 7:00 pm ET on Sunday (April 9) and lasted for two hours, 40 minutes, and 40 seconds. It took place at the Bristol Motor Speedway, with a total of 37 entries.

Driving the #20 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, Christopher Bell clinched his first win of the season. Dirt racing ace Bell, who led the final 100 laps, held off Tyler Reddick, Chase Briscoe, and several other Cup Series stars over the closing miles to win his first dirt racing event in the NASCAR Cup Series.

His win was secured on the final lap when a caution came out for a crash that froze the field, denying Reddick’s final effort at passing Bell for the win. The win marked Bell’s fifth NASCAR Cup Series career victory.

Meanwhile, Reddick finished P2, followed by Austin Dillon, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Chase Briscoe in the top five. Justin Haley, Martin Truex Jr., Todd Gilliland, Kevin Harvick and Ty Gibbs completed the top-10.

The Food City Dirt Race saw four lead changes among four drivers and witnessed 14 caution flags.
