The Peach State racer then staved off a last-ditch bid by Bloomquist to score his first-ever WoO LMS triumph by a mere. 0.185 of a second.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts\u2019s dramatic drive to a win worth $10,550 ignited the large Volusia crowd, which gave the consummate underdog a rousing welcome when he emerged from his Cushman Motorsports Capital Race Car in Victory Lane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pretty much a no-name or whatever,\u201d Roberts modestly said while standing on the homestretch stage following the race. \u201cI guess everybody thinks it\u2019s good to see guys like me win. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019ll tell \u2018ya, I\u2019m just blessed to be here. It feels like it\u2019s not even really happening.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Bloomquist settled for runner-up money, falling short after leading laps 31-48. Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., charged forward for the second straight night, advancing from the 15th starting spot to place third. John Blankenship of Williamson, W.Va., and Gregg Satterlee of Indiana, Pa., finished fourth and fifth, respectively, after spending the final laps in a dogfight for position.<\/p>\n<p>After winning his first career WoO LMS heat race earlier in the program, Roberts started from the pole position in the first of three scheduled 50-lappers for the national tour during the DIRTcar Nationals by Summit. But he was outgunned for the lead at the initial green flag by front-row mate Brady Smith of Solon Springs, Wis., setting the stage for a difficult road to victory for the two-time Ultimate Super Late Model Series champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a gameplan, me and (Capital Race Cars builder) Marshall (Green) and all the guys, and stuck to it,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cThe 2 (Smith) got out front there and I just kept riding. I didn\u2019t want to get my tires hot and tried to take care of my tires for the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually Roberts \u201cstarted coming back\u201d to Smith, and on lap 15 Roberts slid underneath Smith to take the lead. Roberts initially edged away from the pack, but after the race\u2019s four caution flags flew in rapid-fire fashion \u2013 on laps 20, 22, 24 and 28 \u2013 he watched Bloomquist use the outside lane to sail into the top spot on lap 31.<\/p>\n<p>On most occasions, a Bloomquist move into the lead during the second half of a race means the rest of the field is running for second. But this wasn\u2019t a normal situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScott come up through there and gosh, whenever he passed us, I was like, \u2018Dang, we might run second,\u2019\u201d said Roberts. \u201cBut I wasn\u2019t gonna go down without a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the A-Main running caution-free to the finish, the low-riding Roberts slowly inched toward Bloomquist\u2019s two-race-old Sweet\/Bloomquist car. He challenged Bloomquist on lap 43 only to fall several car lengths back on lap 45 while negotiating lapped traffic; moments later, Roberts broke free of slower cars and again closed in on Bloomquist.<\/p>\n<p>On lap 48 Roberts surged to the inside of Bloomquist in turns one and two and stayed alongside the leader down the backstretch. After rounding turns three and four, Roberts was in the lead with the white flag flying \u2013 and less than 20 seconds later, the race was his.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe definitely could drive and rotate around the bottom real nice,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cThat was really the key to the win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bloomquist, 50, conceded that Roberts\u2019s mastery of the inside groove was the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the racetrack would move up and you\u2019d have to run the middle and all over it, but that bottom stayed a lot longer than I expected,\u201d said Bloomquist, who started sixth. \u201cHe ran a great race. It looked like he just stuck to the bottom. Tonight, that\u2019s where it was at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outdueling a Hall of Famer like Bloomquist was an unforgettable accomplishment for Roberts, a low-key sort who displayed surprisingly little outward emotion after the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo run with Scott like that, with as much as he\u2019s done in our sport \u2013 it ranks definitely at the top of the wins that I have,\u201d said Roberts, whose wife, Cathy, and children Brynn, 15, and Mason, 10, were unfortunately not in attendance at Volusia. \u201cI can\u2019t thank God enough for blessing me with all the fine people around me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts\u2019s car owner, Jimmy Cushman, was a bit more demonstrative in his post-race actions. The longtime team owner was teary-eyed in Victory Lane, overjoyed by the magnitude of his driver\u2019s triumph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of winning an Outlaw race,\u201d said Cushman, who, along with his wife Ann, has fielded cars for Roberts for the last 10 years. \u201cIt\u2019s come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., finished sixth and took over the WoO LMS points lead for the first time in his young career. Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., faded to seventh after briefly challenging Roberts for second early in the distance. Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., rallied to finish eighth after being forced to the rear of the field on lap 24 by contact with Smith that sent him spinning in turn four. Rick Eckert of York, Pa., and Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>Wrapping around the lap-24 caution flag for Lanigan\u2019s problem were slowdowns on lap 20 for third-starter Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill., who stopped in turn three; lap 22 for Kyle Bronson of Tampa, Fla., who slowed after climbing the homestretch wall; and lap 28 for a turn-two spin by Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa.<\/p>\n<p>With 45 cars were entered in the evening\u2019s action, Ohlins Shocks Time Trials were split into \u2018A\u2019 and \u2018B\u2019 groups. The first half competed for starting positions in heats one and two and the second half racied against the clock to align heats three and four.<\/p>\n<p>Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark., turned a lap of 15.791 seconds in Group \u2018A\u2019 that was the quickest overall of the night. It was his first WoO LMS fast-time honor of 2014 and the 19<sup>th<\/sup>of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Heat winners were won by Roberts, Satterlee, Bloomquist and Shirley. Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., and Eckert captured the B-Mains.<\/p>\n<p>The DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit continue on Friday (Feb. 21) and Saturday (Feb. 22) with WoO LMS programs headlined by 50-lap, $10,000-to-win A-Mains. The Super DIRTcar Series for Big-Block Modifieds will also be part of both shows.
