Chase Briscoe held off teammate Christopher Bell in a photo finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway to win his second consecutive NASCAR playoff race.

Chase Briscoe held off teammate Christopher Bell to win his second straight NASCAR playoff race on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in a photo finish. The two cars made contact on the final lap, but Briscoe maintained control of his No. 19 Toyota and crossed the line about a half-car length ahead of Bell. It was Briscoe's eighth career win and third of the season, with 62 laps led.

Briscoe entered the race 123 points behind playoff leader Kyle Larson. Back-to-back victories, including last week's win at Las Vegas, have cut that deficit to 65 points, moving him into fourth place with four races left in the playoff chase. Ryan Blaney finished third, followed by Josh Berry, Denny Hamlin and Larson. Hamlin trails Larson by 49 points, with Bell 51 points back.

Kyle Larson started on the pole after Saturday's qualifying was rained out and dominated the opening stage, leading 68 of the first 80 laps to collect maximum stage points. Bell caught Larson in the second stage and won it.
