All five feature events for Saturday, August 1 are being rescheduled for the upcoming weeks. A strong showing of Dachshunds took to the Volusia Speedway front stretch for the 2nd Annual Wiener Nationals events. As a large crowd of fans lined the fence, two qualifying heat races were run with the top four from each heat earning a starting position in the feature race. Heat race winners were “Willy” owned by the Linebarier family and the 2008 winner, “Cena” owned by the Jamie Herceg. Willy came home the overall winner in the feature event, followed by “Doc”, owned by Ashlie and “Lacy” owned by Gracie Jankowski. Trophies were awarded to the top three feature finishers.
