\"IMG_7374\"Scott Lockwood,\u00a0Bradenton, FL -Sarasota’s David Wilson recovered from two different spins and\u00a0went on to take his second consecutive Turner Tree and Landscaping Super\u00a0Late Model win in Saturday night’s 75-lap main event Saturday night at the\u00a0re-named Desoto Speedway. \u00a0Wilson started eighth in the 19-car feature and found himself right in the\u00a0middle of a seven-car crash that was triggered when early leader Daryl\u00a0Shelnut got loose going into turn three and forced several cars to check\u00a0up in a chain Reaction melee that saw the car of polesitter James Glover\u00a0end up on top of Chris Fontaine’s car. Bradenton’s Jessie Dutilly also\u00a0received front end damage in the crash, while Glover’s and Brian\u00a0Richardson’s night came to an end. Wilson and Brad Bowman both spun but\u00a0were able to continue without damage. \u00a0Dutilly and Fontaine used the long red flag to their advantage and were\u00a0able to rejoin the field after repairs without losing any laps. On the\u00a0restart, Billy Bigley Jr. got by Shelnut for the lead. A couple of laps\u00a0later he was joined at the front by Wilson, who restarted fourth. Wilson\u00a0took the lead with an outside pass at the end of lap 14 and was poised to\u00a0set sail from the rest of the field before a caution six laps later when\u00a0Troy McNabb spun right in front of Wilson and the rest of the leaders.\u00a0Several more cautions allowed Dutilly and Fontaine to keep pace with the\u00a0leaders. On a lap-38 restart after a crash involving Shellnut and Joe Boyd,\u00a0Dutilly got by Bigley for second place and ran down Wilson to battle for\u00a0the lead. After another yellow Dutilly got a great restart and took the\u00a0lead from Wilson for the first time on lap 44.\u00a0Dutilly paced the field for the next 17 laps with Wilson right on his tail. \u00a0Coming out of turn two on lap 58, Wilson got into the back of Dutilly,\u00a0forcing Dutilly up the race track and allowing him to retake the lead. On\u00a0the next lap, Dutilly tried repaying the favor in the same spot, but spun\u00a0Wilson around to cause the night’s sixth caution flag. Wilson was allowed\u00a0to keep the lead while Dutilly was sent to the rear of the field.\u00a0On the restart, Fontaine – whose car was largely covered with giant patches\u00a0of duct tape after repairs from the lap 6 crash – got by Bigley for second\u00a0place. Fontaine could not keep pace with Wilson, who went on to win by\u00a0nearly two seconds.<\/p>\n

“These cars were all over the place and it was like driving on ice out\u00a0there,” Wilson said from victory lane. “We were just fortunate enough to\u00a0dodge quite a few bullets and take care of the race car.” \u00a0Wilson also apologized for the move that took Dutilly out of the lead on\u00a0lap 58. Dutilly would eventually rally to finish fourth. \u00a0“I got on the gas and tried to stay out of his bumper, but it looked like\u00a0he got a little loose,” Wilson said.<\/p>\n

Fontaine, a Lakeland resident who has made several starts in the NASCAR\u00a0Camping World Truck Series, said he “couldn’t believe” he ended up with a\u00a0runner-up finish with a battered race car. He said his crew must have used\u00a010 rolls of duct tape to get the car back in the race. \u00a0“I got out of the car and everything was straight and the radiator wasn’t\u00a0leaking, so I said let’s try it,” Fontaine said after surveying his car\u00a0immediately following the early crash. “It ended up working and it was a\u00a0lot of fun out there. That might have been the most fun I’ve had in a race\u00a0car.” \u00a0Bigley finished third after leading several laps early. Scott Walters\u00a0rounded out the top five. Eight of the 10 cars running at the finish\u00a0finished on the lead lap.<\/p>\n

In other action Saturday night, the 25-lap Street Stock feature was a\u00a0battle between the brother duo \u00a0of Bill and Stuart Vandevender and Anders\u00a0Jackson. Stuart V Vandevender led a little more than half the race before\u00a0being overtaken on a restart by Bill Vandevender. Jackson moved into second\u00a0with about 10 laps remaining. \u00a0Once Jackson cleared Stuart Vandevender, he ran down Bill Vandevender and\u00a0took the lead with a handful of laps remaining. Over the final two laps\u00a0around the 3\/8-mile oval the two were nose to tail, with Jackson getting\u00a0loose coming out of turn four coming to the checkers. That allowed Bill\u00a0Vandevender to nearly pull even at the stripe, but Jackson held on for the\u00a0win. \u00a0The lead cars came together after taking the checkered flag, sending\u00a0Jackson hard into the outside wall in turn one. The incident nearly started\u00a0a brawl on the front stretch between the two teams but was quickly broken\u00a0up by track personnel.<\/p>\n

Other feature winners Saturday night included Dustin Chisolm using a\u00a0last-second pass on Ed Brihante to take the 25-lap Champ Kart feature; Joey\u00a0Azatta leading flag-to-flag in the 20-lap Legends feature; Jessica\u00a0Ostrovskis in the Pro 4 feature; Marina Petty in the Rookie 4’s, Dalton\u00a0Ellis in the Junk Yard Dogs and Brett Suggs in the 25-lap Mini-Cup event.<\/p>\n

This Saturday night Desoto Speedway will host\u00a0the fifth annual Eddie Brann Memorial, which is a 75-lap Open Wheel Modified event\u00a0that could draw as many as 40 of the state’s best open-wheel drivers. \u00a0The night will also feature heat races and features for the Road Warriors, Dwarf Cars, TQ\u00a0Midgets, Junkyard Dogs, and Outlaw Modifieds.<\/p>\n
