A pair of familiar faces found their way back to victory lane during Saturday night’s racing action at Desoto Speedway.
In Saturday’s 30-lap Winged Sprint Car feature, Shane Butler raced from fourth to first in the opening laps and was in a battle with Dave Steele for the lead when Butler made a dramatic move under two lapped cars and into the grass – coming out ahead of Steele and the rest of the pack.
