NASCAR reveals Cup post-race inspection results from Darlington

The NASCAR Cup Series competed at Darlington Raceway, and it was a major victory for a Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Christopher Bell and the No. 20 team won the 2026 Southern 500 at Darlington, earning their first victory of the 2026 Cup Series season. However, did Bell and the No. 20 car pass post-race inspection at Darlington?

Bell's No. 20 car passed post-race inspection and won't require a trip back to the R&D Center, NASCAR announced on Sunday night . It was an impressive victory for Bell, who was able to pass Kyle Larson and hold off Ty Gibbs in the closing laps of the Southern 500.

While Bell arguably had the best car on Sunday night, it required a near-perfect Final State to secure the victory. It was a very impressive run for the driver of the No. 20 car, who firmly sits second in the Chase standings. Bell started the Chase on a high note and hopes to carry this momentum into World Wide Technology Raceway.
