Speed Goes Back-to-Back With iRX All-Star Invitational Win at Hell
November 1st, 2020 by Chris Leone
Four-time US rallycross champion Scott Speed became the first dual winner in either division of iRacing Rallycross presented by Yokohama on Saturday, outdueling close friend and four-time Chili Bowl champion Kevin Swindell in an exciting All-Star Invitational final at Hell Lankebanen. Speed extended his points lead over third place finisher Conner Martell as the season hit its halfway point.
Martell and Daytona winner Sage Karam advanced from the first heat, while Speed and Swindell ran 1-2 in the second heat and Tyler Menninga took a six-second victory over Steve Arpin in the last chance qualifier. The typical chaos off the starting line ensued, but Swindell and Martell would establish themselves as the top two cars as Speed got the longer Joker Lap out of the way early.
Martell would take the Joker Lap at the halfway point to fall back to third, setting up a battle for first on track between Swindell and Speed. While Swindell’s Joker would eventually relegate him to second on the final lap, the two drivers fought cleanly and respectfully throughout the second half of the race, making for one of the most exciting fights of the entire season.
