Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson were both victorious Sunday in sprint and midget races at Western Springs Speedway in Auckland, New Zealand.
Bell won the 25-lap sprint feature with a daring last-lap pass of Michael Pickens which had to be reviewed by officials for grass usage. Bell passed Pickens on the inside in the final turn after running second for the entire race.
The victory follows Bell’s sprint win at the track on Wednesday.
“I don’t know what to say, I didn’t expect that one,” Bell told Speed Shift TV afterward.
