For the first three quarters of the 30th running of the Icebreaker 100 this weekend at Desoto Speedway, 2014 Brighthouse Series and Desoto track champion Jesse Dutilly looked like he’d start 2015 in a place he found quite often in 2014: victory lane.
But after a mechanical failure 26 laps from the end of the race brought the Bradenton’s driver’s hopes of winning the track’s biggest race of the year to a screeching halt it was veteran driver Jeff Scofield who was left holding the trophy in front of the sun-drenched crowd in Eastern Manatee County.
Dutilly started on the pole and led the first five laps before being overtaken by Scofield for the top spot. As Scofield, Dutilly, Chris Fontaine and Anthony Cataldi battled for the top spot Cataldi and Fontaine tangled, triggering a melee that collected several cars and sending Cataldi to the pits with damage. He was able to rejoin the field before the restart after quick repairs.
Dutilly passed Scofield for the lead on the outside on a lap 21 restart and wasted no time pulling out to a 10 car-length lead over Scofield, Fontaine and defending race winner Joe Boyd. He had over a one-second advantage over Scofield when the caution flew for Troy McNabb’s spin in turn four. (more…)
It was a cold night at New Smyrna Speedway as temperatures dipped into the 40s
but the action was as hot as it could be with plenty of good racing, wrecks
aplenty and a very busy tech shed that saw five drivers disqualified including
two apparent race winners.
The evening’s highlight was the final running of the Pete Orr Memorial as the
Orr family had requested this be the final running of the event that was
re-named from the Orange Blossom 100 in 2003 in honor of the late racing
champion who scored many victories over the years at New Smyrna including a
pair of Orange Blossom 100s and two Florida Governor’s Cup titles. Many of
the Orr family were in attendance and greeted each driver during pre-race
ceremonies. Orr’s son Bobby Orr presented the final Pete Orr Sportsmanship
Award to long-time racer Doc McKinney of Ft. Pierce who said he was absolutely
stunned yet honored to receive it. McKinney himself was slated to run in the
Modified event later in the evening but his car broke a rocker arm in practice
and he was unable to compete. (more…)
