alpinestars 1-2 as ty gibbs edges christopher bell in nascar cup series thriller at iowa speedway

Ty Gibbs produced a tactical masterclass at Iowa, leapfrogging team-mate Christopher Bell on pit road — thanks to crew chief Tyler Allen’s two-tire call on Lap 290 of 350 — and then keeping Bell behind him the rest of the way in front of a packed house at the 0.875-mile Iowa Speedway to claim victory.

Bell finished the race in second.

Denny Hamlin finished fifth, Chase Briscoe sixth, and William Byron ninth; all Alpinestars drivers.
