His position finish overall earned him the prize money of $25,000, while Bednarek was crowned the Grand Slam Champion in the men's short sprints category, having won both events and received the whooping sum of $100,000.
Commenting on the organisation and coverage of the league, Kerley took to his X page to talk about the quality of the league and how it propels the sport.
"This is exactly what we athletes need. The meet is going on well, and the outside world needs to see the show - because it's definitely good for the athletes. I'm proud to be a part of it."

"This is the partnership we want with our racers! Thank you for trusting us Fred!"
