\n<\/strong>
\nBARBERVILLE, FL- The\u00a0world famous Volusia Speedway Park played host to an exciting night of “Fast Lane 5” racing on Saturday, as fans were entertained by the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Models, Taylor Racing Products Sportsman, Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.\u00a0 And to make things even more interesting, fans and some racers got to go head to head in a very “chilly” intermission game that\u00a0failed to go exactly as planned.<\/p>\n

A strong field of Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Models cruised to the green flag behind the bright yellow machine of JO Nobles,\u00a0but\u00a0Brandon Dewitt leapt forward and grabbed the lead on the first lap as Nobles was overwhelmed by the top five cars.\u00a0 A caution for a spin by Larry Anderson set up a restart and Dewitt interestingly chose the inside\u00a0position\u00a0versus a very quick Dillon Wood, who had the 7 machine absolutely hooked up on the outside.\u00a0 Dewitt’s choice worked at first, but\u00a0Wood was coming fast and\u00a0creating awesome momentum using every inch\u00a0of the track near the walls.<\/p>\n

Dillon Wood kept working the high line and swung past the leader on lap nine\u00a0in turns 3 and 4,\u00a0leaving Dewitt to deal with David Clegg who was trailing in the third spot.\u00a0 And also making moves was the 35 of\u00a014 year old\u00a0Christian Augspurger, who was at VSP in order to get some seat time on the\u00a0half mile in preparation for the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series.\u00a0 Augspurger had\u00a0been very conservative\u00a0in his heat race and early in the feature, but now had taken a liking to the big half mile track, blowing past the competition, and setting his sights on\u00a0Clegg.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Dillon Wood kept it high and in front, grabbing\u00a0an impressive win and making it two victories for the night.\u00a0 Wood had also been the only competitor to successfully unroll and don a solidly frozen t-shirt at intermission, after what seemed like an endless battle that included beating the shirt into the front stretch wall and heating it over the exhaust of an ATV.\u00a0\u00a0Brandon Dewitt held off David Clegg for second and Clegg claimed the third spot despite Christian Augspurger’s efforts.\u00a0 Augspurger was fourth and Bobby Richardson claimed the fifth spot.<\/p>\n

Things got off to a rather rocky start for the\u00a0Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, as an early race incident in turn 4 ruined the plans of Blaise Hetznecker, Marc Kinley,and others.\u00a0 But once clean up was completed the Shaun Daugharty show began, as he jumped out front and grabbed the lead.\u00a0 But waiting to spoil the show was\u00a0a host of contenders, including Aaron Barsness and Drew Smith.\u00a0 Smith had the first shot at Daugharty but could not make the pass, and\u00a0later got tangled up with a hard charging Steve Shead who had begun challenging him for second place.\u00a0\u00a0Their contact in turn one brought out a caution and sent both racers to the rear of the field for the restart.<\/p>\n

As Daugharty continued to lead, Aaron Barsness\u00a0inherited second place and began working on the leader, while Paul Shead filled the void in third place. But Daugharty was too strong for either, and once again\u00a0” The Destroyer” Shaun Daugharty got to celebrate in Victory Lane.\u00a0 Aaron Barsness settled for second place while Paul Shead claimed the third spot.\u00a0 Matt McGillivray finished fourth as Steve Shead fought his way back to salvage a top 5 finish.<\/p><\/div>\n

When the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks exited the track after their feature race, the fans in the grandstands probably thought that was that.\u00a0 The 64 machine had yet again outshined the entire field, and had earned another celebratory moment in Victory Lane. But shortly after the celebration ended, a closer look revealed the 64 of Trevor Gamble held in quarantine, which meant that there could be a late night in tech later on.<\/p>\n

Early on the 13 of Phillip Brown got\u00a0the\u00a0lead but could not hold it as Trevor Gamble blasted to the front.\u00a0 Right behind Gamble was Bubba Christian, who also had his sights on the clear track ahead,\u00a0and Mike Tovet who was battling his way forward from a ninth position start.\u00a0 Trevor Gamble had an absolute lock on the top spot, so everyone else battled for position behind him.\u00a0 Three wide racing was common, and as the dust settled in the end Trevor Gamble had outrun the rest yet again.\u00a0 Mike Tovet won the battle for second place and Tim Hughes\u00a0went home with a third place finish.\u00a0 After getting as high as second place, Bubba Christian settled for fourth and Phillip Brown finished fifth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
And as expected, Trevor Gamble’s car was completely torn down by Volusia Speedway Park tech officials after racing had ended for the night.\u00a0 And even if Gamble had to transport his engine home in boxes once it was over, he at least went home with the first place trophy as well as a disassembled\u00a0motor.\u00a0 The car was declared legal and the victory stands.<\/p>\n

The Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stock Division has had a good share of drama over technical issues as of late, but on Saturday night it appeared that all of that was washed away and a new attitude had prevailed.\u00a0 Randy Strehle led the field to the green flag but could not hold it as racers went three wide on the backstretch, and as it sorted itself out in turn 3 Luke Sadler had made some leaps forward along with Matt Schell.\u00a0 Sadler challenged Strehle again in turn 2 and wrestled the lead away, and Schell also muscled his way around Strehle a lap later.<\/p>\n

Luke Sadler, who had gone through four engines in a month of racing before Saturday night, got an interview with Joe Dirt in Victory Lane as the winner of the race while Matt Schell scored the second place finish.\u00a0 Randy Strehle crossed the line behind them to claim third place, followed by Scott Mooers for fourth.\u00a0 Tom Hughes rounded out the top five finishers.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThings looked very different as the 4 Cylinder Challengers took the green flag on Saturday night.\u00a0 For one thing, Casey Feaster was starting the race from the front of the pack instead of in the rear, and Shawn Kosier, who had a dismal heat race experience earlier, was stuck behind 15 other cars.\u00a0 The role switch for these two racers went even further, as Kosier came away as the hard charger on the night, gaining 12 positions despite a bent wheel that he acquired in his earlier heat race misfortunes. And Casey Feaster jumped out in front early and remained there, and although he got the win it didn’t come without him having to fight RJ Glaser tooth and nail for the victory.<\/p>\n

Casey Feaster had finished first at Ocala Speedway on Friday night but was later disqualified in tech for an illegal part.\u00a0 With that in mind, his car was watched carefully by VSP officials, who verified that the race car was as it should be.\u00a0 That made Feaster, who was very worried that his reputation might be tarnished by the Ocala incident, very happy to be in Victory Lane and have the win stand.\u00a0\u00a0 RJ Glaser raced hard but settled for second place, as Kevin Dugan grabbed the third spot.\u00a0 Shawn Kosier vibrated his way to fourth place, bent wheel and all, as Denica Hetznecker claimed the fifth spot.<\/p>\n

“Rasslin and Racin” returns to Volusia Speedway Park this Saturday, April 24th, as the Florida Wrestling Association will battle it out behind the turn one grandstands at 6PM.\u00a0 Then at 7:30PM the racing action begins with 16 year old Amanda Ferguson trying to build on her earlier win at Ocala Speedway with the Top Gun Sprint Car Series.\u00a0 The exciting Florida Mini Sprints will also be back, as will the DAARA Vintage Race Cars.\u00a0 And topping off the program will be VSP’s own Budweiser Modifieds, returning after a week off to blister the fastest half mile in the south.\u00a0 For more information, visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net<\/a> or call the track at 386-985-4402.<\/div>\n
