Sep 13, 2025; Bristol, Tennessee, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell (20) wins the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Mandatory Credit: Randy Sartin-Imagn Images BRISTOL, Tenn. — Full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell was thrilled to have an opportunity to drive the No. 62 Halmar Friesen Toyota on Friday in the Tennessee Army National Guard 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
After crossing the finish line first in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event, he had reason to be positively elated.
Corey Heim, on the other hand, had 350,000 reasons to be disappointed, after his dream of completing the Triple Truck Challenge — and earning a $350,000 bonus — ended prematurely against the Turn 1 wall.
Bell grabbed the lead from Christian Eckes on Lap 188 of 250 and held it the rest of the way, with Chandler Smith moving into second after a subsequent restart on Lap 224 and chasing Bell to the checkered flag.
Finishing 0.330 seconds ahead of Smith’s No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford, Bell scored his first Truck Series victory since 2017, his first at the 0.533-mile short track and the eighth of his career.
Bell was enlisted to substitute for injured Stewart Friesen in last year’s Truck Series race at Watkins Glen. On Friday night, he raced as Friesen’s teammate and finished three positions better than he had at the Upstate New York road course.
“Oh, man, that was just so awesome to win a truck race,” Bell said. “It’s been since 2017 that I’ve won one of these things. It’s a lot of fun racing with this group. I got the unfortunate call last year to drive for Stewart when he was hurt, went up to Watkins Glen and almost got it.
“They’ve been working really hard to get to Victory Lane. Just so special for me to be able to race with these guys. These wins, they mean a lot to this team, this organization.”
The most recent Cup Series winner at Thunder Valley, Bell will race Sunday in the Food City 500 (3 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Heim’s bid for an extra $350,000 ($500,000 total) for a third straight Triple Truck Challenge victory ended abruptly on Lap 180, moments after he had muscled past Eckes to lead his only lap of the race.
Contact from Eckes’ front bumper to the right rear of Heim’s No. 1 TRICON Garage Toyota sent Heim spinning into the outside wall. Pole winner Kaden Honeycutt T-boned into Heim’s Tundra, with the No. 34 Ford of two-time Bristol winner Layne Riggs nosing into Honeycutt’s truck in a chain-reaction collision.
TRICON teammates Heim and Honeycutt exited the race under the resulting red flag. With the single lap led to his credit, Heim has now led the last 30 straight Truck Series races he has entered, but that was no consolation for losing the bonus he would have collected for winning the race.
“I don’t think he did it on purpose or anything,” Heim said graciously of the contact from Eckes’ Chevrolet. “I think the lead was super important to win the race, just having track position and control. Then they had a mix-up on who was starting the race as far as the control truck.
“I had an issue with my transmission sticking into gears, and I had to pack a little bit of air. I don’t think I touched him to get him out of the way. He was already free. I just packed some air and got him free. I think he was trying to get behind me and ship me, which would have been fine because I did it to him. Just misjudged it.
“I’ve been racing him for a long time, and I don’t think he would do that on purpose, so we are all good.”
After losing ground on the final restart, Eckes finished fifth behind Bell, Smith, Giovanni Ruggiero and Cup driver Ross Chastain. Jake Garcia, Dawson Sutton, Kyle Busch, Carson Hocevar and rookie Brenden Queen completed the top 10.
The race featured nine cautions for 76 laps. Eckes led a race-high 132 laps to Bell’s 63 and won the first stage. Ben Rhodes stayed out under caution on Lap 122 and claimed the Stage 2 win.

Apr 10, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; Denver Nuggets center Jonas Valanciunas (17) lines up a three point basket attempt in the second quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Jonas Valanciunas amassed 23 points and 17 rebounds, both season highs, and Julian Strawther added 22 points as the host Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 127-107 in a matchup of benches on Friday night.
Denver (53-28) clinched at least the fourth seed in the Western Conference with its 11th straight win. The Nuggets can still capture the No. 3 seed with a win Sunday in San Antonio or a Los Angeles Lakers’ loss.
Denver rested its entire starting five and Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson, both of whom have been sidelined with hamstring strains.
Oklahoma City (64-17) has secured the top overall seed.
The only starter dressed for either team was Thunder guard Luguentz Dort, who was required to play at least 20 minutes in each of the final two games to qualify for postseason awards, according to coach Mark Daigneault.
Dort played 20:27 and scored five points.
Denver’s David Roddy scored 16 of his season-high 21 points in the fourth quarter. Jalen Pickett and Tim Hardaway Jr. had 13 points each and Bruce Brown added 10 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Nuggets.
Branden Carlson led Oklahoma City with 23 points. Jared McCain and Kenrich Williams added 15 apiece, Nikola Topic and Brooks Barnhizer contributed 14 points each and Aaron Wiggins finished with 13 points.
The lack of star power showed in the first half when both teams struggled to make shots. Hardaway, who entered the night ninth in made 3-pointers with 221, missed all six of his attempts in the first half before making his only three attempts from deep in the second half.
Denver led 59-51 at the half and pushed the lead back to nine on Brown’s 3-pointer near the midpoint of the third quarter, but the Thunder got within 80-79 on two free throws by Barnhizer late in the third.
Denver took a 90-85 advantage into the fourth and Roddy sparked a surge, driving for a dunk and then a layup and hitting a step-back 3-pointer to give the Nuggets a 100-85 lead.
The hosts led by as much as 23 down the stretch.
The Nuggets knocked down 21-of-43 shots (48.8%) from behind the arc and 49 of 93 (50.5%) from the field.

Apr 10, 2026; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (21) defends a shot by Utah Jazz guard Bez Mbeng (21) during the first half at Delta Center. Mandatory Credit: Rob Gray-Imagn Images Rookie Blake Hinson scored a career-high 30 points and two Utah reserves logged triple-doubles, helping the Jazz snap a 10-game losing streak with a 147-101 demolition of the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday in Salt Lake City.
Rookie Bez Mbeng logged 27 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds and three steals for his first triple-double. John Konchar registered a triple-double for a second straight game — the second and third of his career — finishing with 11 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals.
Kennedy Chandler added 26 points and 10 assists to help the Jazz (22-59) get in the win column for only the second time in 16 games. Oscar Tshiebwe had 16 points and a career-high 22 rebounds, and Ace Bailey chipped in 23 points and 10 boards.
Dariq Whitehead led Memphis with a career-best 21 points. Rookie Toby Okani had a career-high 20 points and Adama Bel added 18 for the Grizzlies, who used just six players while losing their seventh straight game. Memphis (25-56) has two wins in its past 22 contests.
Memphis’ Jahmai Mashack had 13 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 turnovers. Rayan Rupert added 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Lucas Williamson chipped in 13 points and 13 boards.
Utah outscored Memphis 50-26 in the paint in the first half while shooting 59% from the field. That production around the rim, coupled with active hands on defense, helped the Jazz pull away to a 74-52 lead at the break.
Konchar had a pair of blocks and steals to fuel a 21-5 second quarter run that put the Jazz up 55-39 midway through the quarter. Utah scored on four straight possessions at the end of the run, highlighted by back-to-back baskets from Cody Williams.
Memphis cut the deficit to 61-46 on a putback layup from Williamson before Utah ripped off an 11-2 run. Hinson sandwiched the run with a 3-pointer and a reverse layup. His last basket put the Jazz up 72-48 with 1:31 left before halftime.
Utah increased its lead to 44 points early in the fourth quarter. The Jazz went on a 15-0 run spanning the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth to go up 118-74. Utah had seven unanswered baskets during the run, capped by Konchar’s layup off Bailey’s steal.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar was all praise for Vaibhav Suryavanshi after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru attack was taken apart by the wonderkid. His sensational innings took the game away from the visiting side and helped Rajasthan Royals maintain its all-win record this season.
“The way he is hitting, it is not slogging, and he is playing proper cricket shots,” Bhuvneshwar said. “For a 15-year-old, he is too mature. He deserves all the credit for the way he is batting.
The seamer said RCB’s score (201 for eight) was alright. “Though we lost wickets in the PowerPlay, our run-rate was adequate for a T20 game,” he said. “Because of the way Rajat Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer batted, we were able to get a par score. But Survyanshi took the game away from us in the PowerPlay. We still took the match into the 19th over, though it was a tough game overall for us. We fought well, though.”

Bhuvaneshwar admitted his team could not implement some of the plans. “But that is part and parcel of T20 cricket,” he said. “So we are not worried much.”
RCB was a spinner short because Venkatesh was brought in as the Impact Player.
“We had only one left-arm spinner, as we used an Impact Player instead of Suyash,” he said. “We didn’t have a leg-spinner or an off-break bowler, and for a left-arm bowler to face a left-arm batter, it is easier,” added Bhuvaneshwar.
