Bell’s had midget seasons of glory in the past, including a pair of seven-win campaigns in 2013 and 2014, but this year was simply phenomenal with five wins in eight USAC Midget starts, plus 10 out of 13 across all his combined midget starts. It’s a success he attributes to the miles he’s trekked in stock cars and trucks that he’s been able to translate to his time in the driver’s seat of a midget.

“Going to NASCAR has made me a better racecar driver just because it’s taught me things I didn’t learn here on the dirt,” Bell said. “That’s something I’ve been able to find that when you run these really long races, you learn that you don’t have to lead lap five. You don’t have to lead lap 10. You only have to lead the last lap. That’s something I’ve really tried to apply in midget racing and it seems to have worked.”

might be some video later from on top of Bell's roll bar maybe? Briscoe's #5 is filming also.

Yeah I kept watching the 21 of Bell and he wasn't pushing, I forgot he said that was what he was doing saving his stuff in the article. Pretty cool recap. The 5 of Briscoe started way back around 14th I think and didn't show up until pretty late it looks like. I didn't realize Larson was there
 
It’s always a good idea to have some right rear tire to use in the last 5 laps.
