Bristol Motor Speedway Global Rallycross Photos and Results
Bristol Motor Speedway Global Rallycross winner is Toomas Heikkinen. Toomas Heikkinen becomes the first driver to win three consecutive Global Rallycross events when he took the checkered flag at the Bristol Motor Speedway Global Rallycross event beating Ken Block and Brian Deegan to the victory.
HEAT RECAPS: Global Rallycross returned to a two-heat system in Bristol, with Ken Block winning his heat pair and Patrik Sandell doing the same. But while Scott Speed won the first heat for the third group, a persistent Sverre Isachsen stole the second heat. Toomas Heikkinen, Liam Doran, and Steve Arpin also advanced from the heats; a star-studded last chance qualifier saw Brian Deegan, Tanner Foust, and Timur Timerzyanov advance.
MAIN EVENT RECAP: A rough-and-tumble first lap saw Block lose his top seed and lane advantage to Heikkinen for the second race in a row, though Isachsen also threatened to hold the lead. Heikkinen and Isachsen would make it out of the bottleneck first, though Block would regain second place quickly in the Bristol Motor Speedway Global Rallycross.
The rest of the Bristol Motor Speedway Global Rallycross saw what was left of the field attempt to catch Heikkinen to no avail, as Block, Deegan, Isachsen (with a busted exhaust) and Sandell would be the only other finishers. Arpin, Foust, Timerzyanov, and Doran all suffered too much damage to continue beyond the race’s initial laps.
