Christopher Bell is no stranger to the dirt.

Bell has been racing for and winning championships on dirt surfaces around America. So it's no surprise to race fans the 20-year-old Norman, Oklahoma native won the Third Annual 1-800-CarCash Mud Summer Classic at Eldora Speedway; grabbing his first win in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series in just his third start of his career in the series.

Bell, who just dreamed of the opportunity to run in this race two years ago, was able to hold off 18-year-old dirt track ringer Bobby Pierce by almost a full second on Wednesday night.

"It's just really special," Bell said. "I've been coming here (Eldora Speedway), I think my first race was in 2013 in a midget and I ran second here twice, I could never seal the deal. Two years ago, I remember watching this race on TV and I just started in the midget ranks and just a kid from Oklahoma so I thought, 'How cool would it be if I were able to come up here and race a truck at Eldora?' It's just nice to be here.

"I never would've dreamed I ever would've been a NASCAR Truck winner here at Eldora."

Pierce, who made his debut Wednesday night by capturing the pole, was unable to overcome Bell, driver of the No. 54 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, despite getting the chance on several late race restarts. All in all, Bell dominated the event leading 106 of the race’s 154 laps.

The win is the second consecutive in the event for Kyle Busch Motorsports as Darrell Wallace, Jr, rode to victory lane for KBM in last year's event.

Bell admitted the pressure was starting to get to him before the event because of the success the No. 54 team and KBM have achieved in the Truck series.

"I knew coming in here that I had a really good truck," Bell said. "They (the No. 54 team) was probably a little more confident than I was. I was pretty shaky there in the hauler, and I kept asking for moral support, 'Do you think we're really good? Do you think we're good?' And they keep telling me, 'Yeah, you're fine, you're fine.' But you always have pressure when you're running for KBM. It's nice because you're in the best equipment so you're able to run a lot better than you would if you were in some lesser truck.

"But you better run good because you're running for KBM."

Another Camping World Truck Series regular with dirt track roots, Tyler Reddick, brought home a third place finish with last year's pole sitter Erik Jones finishing in fourth place. Daniel Hemric, who made his first ever start at any level on a dirt surface, finished in fifth place.

Austin Dillon, who won the inaugural running of the Mud Summer Classic, finished in sixth followed by John Hunter Nemechek, Cameron Hayley, points leader Matt Crafton rounded out the top-ten.

With the third place finish, Tyler Reddick was able to move to within 14 points of two-time defending Truck series champion Crafton.
