Winner: Christopher Bell of Kyle Busch Motorsports (Toyota)

Christopher Bell dominated Saturday’s CARS Tour Don’t Tread On Me 250 at Southern National Motorsports Park in Lucama, N.C. After starting from the third spot, Bell grabbed the lead on lap 33 and never relinquished it. The Oklahoma native crossed the stripe a straightaway ahead of second-place finisher Cole Timm, collecting his second CARS Tour win of the season and fourth overall victory in a Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) Late Model in 2015.

“We had finished second here a few times, so it feels good to finally conquer this track and knock another one off my bucket list,” Bell said. “The guys at Kyle Busch Motorsports gave me another fast ToyotaCare Camry and we were able to open up a pretty good lead in the middle stages of the race. Thankfully there were no yellows at the end because we were slipping and sliding around pretty good.”
