Young Canadian kart racer Lance Stroll won the Las Vegas XVI SuperNationals in the TaG Junior category held on a temporary circuit in the parking of the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas this past weekend.
The member of the Ferrari driver development programme was second after qualifying and in the following heats he finished first, second and third, allowing him to take the start of the main event from the front row.
Because he had to start on the dirty side of the track, Stroll ended-up fourth early in the race.
Soon enough, he battled his way up front. After a few laps he was third, then second. He began closing the gap with the leader and eventually was able to pass him for the lead.
European karting champion George Russell finished second, just 0.920 of a second down to Stroll.
