Christopher Bell's bid for a historic four-peat ended in disappointment at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after a throttle issue and pit road penalty.

Bell has the chance Sunday to become the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four consecutive Cup Series races — an accomplishment that only eight drivers have achieved in the modern era of NASCAR that began in 1972.

Christopher Bell started the season with a milestone achievement of three wins in a row in the NASCAR Cup Series, never done before in the Next Gen car. His bid to extend that streak to four ended in a losing hand at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
