Christopher Bell, driving the #20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, won the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, holding off William Byron and Kyle Busch in the closing laps at COTA. The win marked his back-to-back victory in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Bell took control of the race when he grabbed the lead from Kyle Busch in Turn 1 on Lap 91 of 95 and then fended off a late challenge from Byron and Tyler Reddick on the final lap to take the thrilling victory at the Austin, Texas, road course.

The #20 JGR driver led eight laps and crossed the finish line 0.433 seconds ahead of the defending winner of the event, Byron, to take the checkered flag. It marked his first win at COTA and 11th of his Cup Series career.
