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 and John Hunter Nemechek will start Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas from the rear due to mechanical changes.
