BARBERVILLE, FL-\u00a0\u00a0The younger generation was\u00a0the focus on Teen Night as Volusia Speedway Park featured five divisions of high speed racing action on Saturday.\u00a0 The Budweiser Modifieds were back, as well as the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, plus the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Synthetics Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.<\/p>\n

Jason Davis was the talk of the Budweiser Modifieds as he showed up with a brand new Snow Brothers modified that had never turned any laps, but “new” and “untested” can sometimes be a bad combinaton, as Davis soon found out.\u00a0 The car never got going in hot laps as water spewed from the overflow, and as Davis hit the track for his heat race he got about a lap and a half in before the new engine totally uncorked on the backstretch, ending his night.<\/p>\n

Kyle Bronson had knocked the new off of his modified the previous\u00a0weekend at Ocala Speedway and was ready for the challenge of the big half mile at Volusia on Saturday.\u00a0 Larry Burkins had the pole but Bronson blew by him to snatch the lead and never looked back. Kyle Bronson got the win in dominating fashion, going flag to flag and making it look easy.\u00a0 Jamie Carter snagged the second place finish behind Bronson, while Larry Burkins had to settle for the third spot.\u00a0 Jeff Mathews somehow got stuck in fourth place and remained there to the finish, as Wayne Hammond rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

“Double Down” Danny Vogel also showed up with a new ride as the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division got down to business, and Vogel’s debut went far more smoothly.\u00a0 Aaron Barsness led the field to the green flag and seemed in control despite the efforts of Steve Shead, but Shead had to contend with Stanton Mills who has been on fire as of late, and that kept him distracted enough to remain in second place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Danny Vogel may have been in a new car, but he drove it like he knew it well, climbing through the field and making his way into the top three.\u00a0 Vogel used a restart to propel his way to the second position, then went to work on Barsness.\u00a0 Vogel managed to use the slower car of Heinz Haas as a rolling pick to steal the lead at one point, but at virtually the same time a spinning car in turn one slowed the field and took Vogel’s move away.\u00a0 Barsness was able to hang on from that point, and despite Vogel’s best efforts Aaron Barsness got the win as Danny Vogel settled for second place.\u00a0 Steve Shead hung on to claim third, while Stanton Mills and Chris Day finished fourth and fifth.<\/p>\n

\nSometimes a rise to the top can result in a sudden and unexpected decent, and the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks offered up a prime example in the fortunes of Joe Belkey.\u00a0 After unplanned absence Belkey returned to Volusia Speedway Park last weekend and won, and that had him feeling pretty confident as this week’s race began.\u00a0 Mike Tovet was back on top as he led from the pole, but Belkey was making moves and coming fast.\u00a0 Grady Christian was in third place when he spun in turn four, spotting Belkey up to his spot in the field and relegating “Shady” Grady to the rear, but just three laps later it was Belkey who found himself planted in the guardrail at the exit of turn two, ending his night with a ride on a hook.<\/p>\n

Trevor Gamble had a consistent and strong run going, and managed to wrestle the lead from Mike Tovet on lap 7 as Phillip Brown and Justin Sirmons moved into the top five behind the leaders.\u00a0 But Tovet was undaunted by losing the lead, and patiently waited for Gamble to leave an opening for him on lap 11.\u00a0 Once that door was opened Gamble could not shut it again, and Mike Tovet retook the lead and won the race.\u00a0 Trevor Gamble settled for second place while Justin Sirmons improved his standing\u00a0to a third place finish.\u00a0 Phillip Brown took the fourth spot, while Grady Christian battled his way from the rear to salvage a fifth place finish.<\/p>\n

David Whitt had his lucky 13 car on the pole for the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stock feature race, and he used that position to hold off Luke Sadler and Scott Mooers and lead for two thirds of the race.\u00a0 But a lack of cautions had the field spread out, and that meant that the leaders were having to negotiate their way around slower traffic, which sometimes can result in mishaps when slow cars do not get out of the way fast enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whitt was well in front of Sadler\u00a0when he overtook Delbert Moyers’ slower car on the frontstretch.\u00a0 Moyer failed to choose a line and got loose, moving across the track in front of Whitt, and that caused the two to collide hard, spinning both out and sending Whitt’s machine careening into the wall.\u00a0 Both cars left the track on a hook as crews cleaned up the debris, and\u00a0Luke Sadler\u00a0assumed the lead.\u00a0 Meanwhile, this was Moyers’ second major crash where his car came in contact with the race leaders this season.\u00a0 It was Moyers’ car that was hit by Randy Strehle as he and Scott Mooers raced through the final turn on\u00a0March 13th, resulting in Strehle’s flip and fire on the front stretch.<\/p>\n

Luke Sadler hung on for the win, followed by Scott Mooers and Tom Hughes.\u00a0 Wally Douglass placed fourth, while Matt Schell battled his way to the fifth spot.<\/p>\n

Gilbert Espy led from the pole as the 4 Cylinder Challengers took the green, but handling issues had his car reversing through the top five as Harold Lewis rocketed past him for the lead.\u00a0 Tony Laporta started in the fourth position and quickly climbed to second place, but never found a way to overtake Lewis who was certainly on his game.\u00a0 Steven Cox struggled a bit at first, but found his groove and maintained the third position.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nAs the field strung out the leaders worked their way through traffic, lapping slower cars along the way.\u00a0Laporta refused to let Lewis get away, but Harold Lewis was too much for the 3T machine so Tony Laporta found a degree of satisfaction in being second at the finish.\u00a0 Steven Cox placed third while James Smith notched the fourth spot, and Gilbert Espy wrestled his ill handling machine to a fifth place finish.<\/p>\n

Memorial Day Weekend brings the Annual Sportsman Spectacular to Volusia Speedway Park next Saturday, May 29th.\u00a0 The Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division will be racing for $1200 first place payout, plus fans can see action from the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Models, Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Thunder\u00a0 Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.\u00a0 For more information, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net<\/a>!<\/p>\n
