Fox Sports

ROSSBURG, OH - RIS - Christopher Bell outran Bobby Pierce to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Mud Summer Classic at Eldora Speedway.  The race ended on a green white checker finish.  Bell started in the high lane and took the lead with Pierce trying to slide up in front of him.  He was not successful, though he made a run on the final lap. 

The 20-year-old Norman, Oklahoma, dirt racer held off 18-year-old Pierce  in NASCAR's lone dirt race in its top three series.

Bell fended off Pierce in a series of late restarts in the caution-filled race, running the outside line on the half-mile clay oval in his No. 54 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota.

Pierce, a dirt racer from Oakwood, Illinois, finished second after starting from the pole in his series debut.

Tyler Reddick was third, followed by Erik Jones and Daniel Hemric.
