Who won the NASCAR playoff race today?

Christopher Bell, driving the #20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, secured his fourth win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season at Bristol’s 0.533-mile-short track and clinched his Round of 12 spot of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

Bell emerged victorious when he grabbed the lead on Lap 497 of the 500 from Zane Smith and then survived a hard, square shot to his rear bumper from Brad Keselowski in the final corner of the final lap to cross the finish line in P1.

The 30-year-old driver from Norman, Oklahoma, led for 12 laps and crossed the finish line by a thin margin of 0.343 seconds over Keselowski to take the checkered flag at the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. The win marked Bell’s 13th career win in the series and completed JGR’s Round of 16 sweep. The first two races of that round were won by Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin at Darlington and Gateway, respectively.

Meanwhile, Brad Keselowski finished runner-up, followed by Zane Smith, Ryan Blaney, and Joey Logano in the top five. Corey Heim, Carson Hocevar, Alex Bowman, Chase Briscoe, and Ty Gibbs completed the top 10.
