Formula 1 driver Paul Di Resta watched from a crowded grandstand on Sunday as Russell shrugged off a carburettor failure to win the pre-final.
The victory left the Intrepid Driver Program racer in pole position for the final, which he won by more than five seconds.
Russell took the biggest title of his career last year when he triumphed in the CIK-FIA European Championship.
