Nelson Piquet Jr. earned the first victory of his Red Bull Global Rallycross career in Saturday’s Red Bull GRC Washington DC presented by Volkswagen. After finishing runner-up to Patrik Sandell in last year’s inaugural race in DC, Piquet turned the tables by holding off Sandell from start to finish in this season’s final.

“Thanks to my team—they’ve been making the car quicker and quicker every race, and we’ve just been getting more and more competitive,” Piquet said after Saturday’s main event. “Patrik kept it clean the whole race, and I think that was a bit of a thank you from last year, when we were battling together, he finished first and I finished second. All of our sponsors have been supporting us for such a long time, and they deserved a win. Hopefully this is just the first one!”
