Barberville, FL (March 21, 2010) It was a perfect Saturday evening at Volusia Speedway Park as the second race night of the 2010 season took place. Fans and racers welcomed spring and the warmer temps.
Heat races were run with Jason Davis and Darell Padgett taking the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Model wins. Aaron Barsness and Corey Holley take the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman heat wins. The Budweiser (Quality Brands) Modifieds saw Jeff Matthews and Larry Burkins take the heat wins. The Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks saw Mike Eubanks and Trevor Gamble take those heat wins.
Intermission was especially fun for the kids as two basketball goals were towed onto the track for the kids vs. the drivers. Kids participating in Volusia’s March Madness were Cameron Brevveman 10 years old, Dusty Adkins 9 years old, Brandon Sutterfield 9 years old, Samuel Baistow 10 years old, Jacob Inabrett 9 years old, William Inabrett 10 years old, Anthony Troy 10 years old, Olivia Floyd 9 years old, Mia Schell 9 years old, and Jenna Kleinman 9 years old.
For the drivers’ side it was Shaun Daugharty, David Clegg, Jason Davis, Rob Underwood, and Larry Burkins. Two sessions were thrown with the kids beating out the Volusia drivers each time.
Taylor Racing Products Sportsman took to the track for their 20 lap feature with Matt McGillivrary on the pole and Paul Shead on the outside pole. Paul Shead took the early lead but it was a short green as the caution came out on lap 2 for Marc Kinley who had spun in turns 1 and 2. Restart saw Shead on the outside and McGillivray on the inside with Shead taking the point once again over Aaron Barsness, Matt McGillivrary, Cory Holley and Shaun Daugharty.
Multiple cautions occurred throughout this event and in the final laps, the caution comes out again on lap 17 for Holley who has spun in turn 4. With three laps left to go Barsness has the point on the restart followed by Daugharty, Paul Shead, McGillivrary, and Drew Smith. Daugharty puts the heat on Barsness and tries to take over but Barsness quickly shuts the door. Justin Merry spins in turn 4 as the field goes to the checkered with Aaron Barsness taking his third straight win over Shaun Daugharty, Paul Shead, Matt McGillivrary, and Drew Smith.
The Budweiser (Quality Brands) Modifieds saw Wayne Hammond on the pole and Dale Murray on the outside pole. Two attempts at starting this raced resulted in multiple car disturbances in turns 1 and 2.
The third time is the charm with Jamie Carter on the inside and Rob Underwood on the outside to finally start the 20 lap contest. Carter takes the point over Matthews, Underwood, Hammond and Corbin.
Cautions continue to plague the Budweiser Modifieds, and finally Carter builds up a significant lead over Hammond with almost every modified on the track having some kind of damage from the night.Jamie Carter takes the win for his first feature win of 2010 over Wayne Hammond, Jeff Matthews, Rob Underwood and James Smith.
Kevin Durden had the pole for the Daytona Dodge Chyrsler Jeep Late Model feature with David Clegg on the outside pole. The race goes green as Clegg takes the point over Durden, Wood, Davis and Chappell. Dillon Wood finds his way to the front and exchanged places with Clegg several times during this event. In the end experience wins out with the “Sod Father” taking the checkered for his first feature win in 2010 followed by Dillon Wood, Donnie Chappell, Darell Padgett, and Jason Davis.
Last but never least, it is the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks with Tim Hughes on the pole and Jody Wells on the outside pole. The green is out as Hughes takes the point. Gamble puts the heat on Hughes and takes over the point followed by Hughes, Jody Wells, Steve Oldaker, and Mark Maresca.
Gamble builds up a strong advantage over the field as he looks for his second straight win of the season. Gamble is followed by Hughes coasting comfortably in second, while the real action takes place for third, fourth and fifth. Oldaker, Wells, Maresca and Mike Eubanks exchange places several times before Gamble takes the checkered for his second straight win of the 2010 season over Tim Hughes, Steve Oldaker, Jody Wells, and Mark Maresca.
