\nBARBERVILLE,FL- Race fans had to know up front that they would get plenty of excitement and entertainment when they saw the Daytona Dodge-Chrysler Late Models and Budweiser Modifieds were running on the same Saturday night at Volusia Speedway Park.\u00a0 But\u00a0they quickly discovered\u00a0that the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks,\u00a0and the 4 Cylinder Challengers, all create their own special brand of excitement as well, as Monster Energy Drink Night cranked up the action at the south’s fastest half mile.<\/p>\n

The Budweiser Modifieds saw “Big Mac” Charlie MacNichol fall by the wayside early during heat racing, while Jeff Mathews firmly planted himself in the front row for the feature event, just outside of pole sitter Traver Boettcher.\u00a0 And as soon as the green waved the “Repo Man” shot the 33 car into the lead and remained there despite a valiant effort by Jimmie and Jamie Carter to get past him.\u00a0 Jamie Carter had started in the 7th position and worked his way to second when some late race cautions bunched up the field and gave him a few good shots at Mathews.\u00a0 Carter could get his car alongside of the 33, but Mathews proved a tad too tough to tame.\u00a0 Jeff Mathews scored the win while Jamie Carter was a close second and Jimmie Carter rounded out the top three.\u00a0 Rob Underwood managed to finish in the fourth spot while James Smith got a top 5 finish as well.<\/p>\n

Miss VSP 2010 Emily Chaney did the honors of waving the green for the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks and the second feature race of the night.\u00a0 Billy Medders led the field to the green flag but Mike Tovet seized early control of the race and fought to hold off a three wide challenge on the backstretch.\u00a0 That challenge failed to\u00a0sort itself\u00a0out in turns 3 and 4, and the resulting contact brought a caution and sent Pat Buckley to the pits on a hook.\u00a0 Tovet would later develop problems and eventually leave the race as well a few laps later.\u00a0 As Tovet faltered, Trevor Gamble took advantage and grabbed the lead, refusing to relinquish it until he saw the checkers waving.\u00a0Phillip Brown\u00a0gave chase, then late in the race had to fend off a hard charging Bubba Christian who suddenly barreled into the top three.<\/p>\n

While Trevor Gamble finished first and Bubba Christian crossed the line in third place,\u00a0drama in the pit area\u00a0after the\u00a0race scrambled the top\u00a0five standings as disqualifications were ordered for conduct issues.\u00a0 Phillip Brown, who had begun the race\u00a0in the 10th position,\u00a0was declared the winner, which amounted to a 9 position gain on the night.\u00a0Tim Hughes moved up\u00a0two positions to second place as Gamble and Christian were ousted.\u00a0 Billy Medders claimed the third spot followed by David Higgs and Mike Tovet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Race fans know that when the 21 car of Ivedent Lloyd drives onto the race track that “The Professor” will likely entertain them while he educates everyone else, and as one might expect, the rest of the Daytona Dodge-Chrysler Late Model field was in no mood to sit through class.\u00a0 Lloyd rocketed his car into the lead and began a lesson in domination that lasted for 25 laps, while his teammate, Darrell Padgett\u00a0schooled the field\u00a0in passing\u00a0by\u00a0gaining 15 positions to finish second behind Ivedent Lloyd.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
David Clegg had a respectable night despite Lloyd and Padgett’s attention getting performances.\u00a0 Clegg ignored all of the hoopla, drove his own race,\u00a0and finished third on the night, followed by Dillon Wood who was racing “incognito” Saturday night behind the wheel of the 7 car.\u00a0 Richard Ferry also got a top five finish after starting on the pole, crossing the line behind Wood.<\/p>\n

Shawn “Beavis” Kosier\u00a0 had won three 4 Cylinder Challenger races in a row coming into Saturday night, and once again he would find his way to some hardware and an interview with Joe Dirt, but not for winning the race.\u00a0 Steven Cox managed to get around Kosier on lap 4 and remain there, breaking the win streak for the 97 car at three.\u00a0 And while Cox celebrated in Victory Lane, Kosier was happy as well, satisfied with second place if the win was out of reach.\u00a0 Cox’s 88 machine looked untouchable after it passed Kosier cleanly, then held off every challenge with ease.<\/p><\/div>\n

RJ Glaser grabbed the third spot after harassing Kosier for the second spot\u00a0for most of the race, while Gilbert Espy finished in the fourth spot.\u00a0 And the big mover and shaker of the night was Casey Feaster, who earned a DQ for his heat race when he was busted for speeding in the pit area, and had to start the feature race on the tail.\u00a0 Feaster worked his way forward 14 positions for the fifth place finish, while Robert Graham gained 12 spots in an 8th place effort.<\/p>\n

The Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks have created their own brand of drama the last few outings both on and off of the race track, and Saturday night was no different.\u00a0 The result of it all was a highly competitive race where the top positions were almost always in dispute, plus enough beating and banging\u00a0action that the competition clock expired before the scheduled 20 laps were completed.<\/p>\n

Jumpin’ Jim Shaw battled for the early lead with Jim Goempel and Chad Scranton until a tangle in turn 3 sent Goempel to the pits.\u00a0 Meanwhile Matt Schell and David Whitt were on the move, muscling their way through traffic to enter the fray up front and contend with Shaw for the win.\u00a0 Whitt assumed the lead and held it despite the best efforts of Matt Schell, and Jim Shaw overcame a lap 6 tangle to return to the top three.\u00a0 Other racers were making moves further back in the pack as well, as AJ McKay climbed from the last starting position to 13th, and John Thorpe gained 7 spots to 9th.<\/p>\n

David Whitt proved to be a little too much for Matt Schell, grabbing a victory while Schell settled for second place.\u00a0 Jumpin’ Jim Shaw was the third place finisher, while Scott\u00a0Mooers claimed the fourth spot and Chad Scranton placed fifth.<\/p>\n

Saturday, April 17th brings Fastline 5 racing to Volusia Speedway Park as the Daytona Dodge-Chrysler Late models, Taylor Racing Products Sportsman, \u00a0Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and 4 Cylinder Challengers, battle on the south’s fastest half mile.\u00a0 Racing begins at 7:30PM and fans can access www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n
