(HUDSON, NORTH CAROLINA) – Fresh off his Southern 500 win at Darlington Raceway (SC) just days before in the NASCAR Cup Series, Christopher Bell (Norman, OK) returned to the seat of a Super Late Model and won the ASA STARS National Tour event at Tri-County Speedway. In just his second start with the series, Bell won the Ebb Logistics 250 Presented by SAVE22.VET after a tight battle with series point leader Carson Brown.
Bell’s win was his first in an Asphalt Super Late Model since 2016, when he won at Orange County in North Carolina with the CARS Tour Super Late Models.
Brown (New London, NC) looked to be a lock for the win after he charged from 12th to the lead in the first 37 laps of the event. Brown led over 100 laps and won the first two segments to pad his points lead before finishing in the runner-up position.
The night started with Keelan Harvick winning the Hamke Race Cars Pole Award for the second straight race. Harvick then led the first 37 laps of the race and looked to be well on his way to a potential second win. Harvick gave way to Brown on lap 37 and rode in second to the end of the first segment. From there, he rode in second until the car lost power just before lap 150 with a broken camshaft.
Ty Fredrickson (Webster, MN) had a solid night by starting fourth and finishing on the podium in third. This matched his career-best finish, when he was third at Madison in 2025. In the early laps of the final run, Fredrickson was right in the Bell and Brown battle, waiting on any mistake to pounce.
Behind Fredrickson was Casey Roderick, picking up a fourth-place finish, his best finish since the final race of 2024 at Nashville, where he finished second and was crowned the ASA STARS National Tour Champion.
Derek Kraus was fifth, followed by Jade Avedisian, 2025 ASA STARS National Tour Champion Cole Butcher, Connor Jones, Vito Cancilla, and Brent Crews.
The STARS of the ASA STARS National Series will be back in action on Saturday, September 19th at Toledo Speedway (OH) in the 38th Running of the CorvetteParts.net Glass City 200. Qualifying will be at 3 pm with the green flag slated for 5:30 pm.
