Joe Gibbs Racing star Christopher Bell unloaded on his team in a furious rant after his seventh-place finish at the Enjoy Illinois 300.
Bell reacted angrily after hearing the team congratulate themselves on a 'good job' in the second race of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs at Gateway.
'That's what we needed today. Take the pressure off next week. Good job, guys,' a team member said on the radio.
That sparked a foul-mouthed outburst from Bell, who vented his frustration at the team's strategy and performance in the race, which was won by Denny Hamlin.
'We just f***ing ran seventh with the best car on the track,' he shouted. 'Every f***ing week it's the same s***. We're the last car to pit road. I'm over it!'
After a few moments of awkward silence, a team member responded to Bell. 'I hear you, buddy,' they said.

Christopher Bell unloaded on his team in a furious rant after his seventh-place finish
Bell, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, shouted: 'Every f***ing week it's the same s***'
Bell later doubled down on his disappointment at finishing so far behind teammates Hamlin and Chase Briscoe, who was second.
'Clearly, the JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing) Camrys are amazing, and I don’t know... our team cars are really good, and I felt like I had what I needed to race with them, and we finished seventh and they finished one-two,' he told NBC Sports.
'I honestly think the cars are as fast as I’ve had in my Cup career, and we are just not getting results out of it.
'That is a bummer, but on a lighter note – we had a good points day and were able to increase our buffer to the cutline, which is really good.
'I think from that standpoint mission accomplished. We had a great Camry, just didn’t get the finish that we probably could have and should have.'
