Race Results: 2025 NASCAR Cup Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol

Christopher Bell emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle in the closing laps of Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Bell, who led 12 laps on the night, endured a bump-and-run attempt from Brad Keselowski on the final lap of the race to score his fourth win of the NASCAR Cup Series season.

Keselowski was visibly frustrated by missing out on the win, as he threw his gloves at the side of his car after he returned to pit road.

Zane Smith was able to score an impressive third-place finish in the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford Mustang Dark Horse, while Ryan Blaney, and Joey Logano rounded out the top-five finishers.

Saturday night's race was the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Round of 16 elimination event. By finishing eighth, Alex Bowman was one of the four drivers, who were eliminated in this round. Josh Berry, Shane van Gisbergen, and Austin Dillon were also eliminated from the Playoffs.

Advancing to the Round of 12 are Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Chase Briscoe, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, and Chase Elliott.

Ty Gibbs, who led a race-high 201 laps, ended the night with a 10th-place finish after having issues getting to pit road late in the race, which ended his bid for his first career win.
