No one could touch Stickler in Saturday night’s Auburndale-Desoto Modified\u00a0twin 50-lap doubleheader. The Pinellas County driver set fast time in\u00a0qualifying and led every lap on his way to dominant wins in both feature\u00a0races.<\/p>\n
Sticker got the wholeshot from the outside pole in the first 50-lap race to\u00a0take the lead from Josh Todd at the start. In the first couple of laps,\u00a0Doug Moff was caught in two separate spins and was eliminated when he hit\u00a0the wall coming out of turn two in the second incident.<\/p>\n
Stickler and Todd pulled away from third place Brad Bowman on the restart\u00a0and were comfortably ahead of the rest of the pack when Chad Rutherford\u00a0spun just in front of the leaders in turn three to bring out the yellow\u00a0just before the halfway point.<\/p>\n
On the restart Bowman and Brandon Thompson spent several laps battling\u00a0side-by-side for the third spot, with Thompson getting the upper hand for\u00a0the spot on lap 36. Two laps later, Eric Rudd tagged Nick Hernandez heading
\ninto turn one, bringing out the final caution of the event. \u00a0Stickler easily held off Todd the rest of the way and drove on to the\u00a0victory. Thompson finished third.<\/p>\n
A roll of the dice inverted the top two cars for the second 50-lap feature,\u00a0putting Todd on the pole and Stickler on the outside of the front row. In a\u00a0replay of the start of the first race, Stickler jumped into the lead at the\u00a0green flag and never looked back on his way to completing the sweep \u2013 and\u00a0third win in three ADMO series races. \u00a0Todd finished second, with Thompson rounding out the podium.<\/p>\n
Fifteen cars took the green flag for the 40-lap Take Aim Gun Range Street\u00a0Stock feature. Danny Caylor passed early leader Bobby Huffstutler for the\u00a0top spot on the third lap and was joined at the front of the field two laps\u00a0later by Eric Purcell. \u00a0The caution came out for an accident involving Jeff Firestine and Bobby\u00a0Diestler as the field completed the sixth lap. After the restart Caylor\u00a0needed about 10 laps to pull out to a straightaway lead over Purcell and\u00a0looked to have the race under control at that point. \u00a0But Purcell had other ideas as his car came to life in the second half of
\nthe race. Purcell started chewing away at Caylor’s lead and got to within\u00a0about five car lengths in the closing laps. Caylor worked his way around\u00a0lapped traffic and held off Purcell for the victory. Todd Brown finsihed\u00a0third.<\/p>\n
In other action Saturday night, Sherry Best held off cousin Jimmie Best to\u00a0win her first career LKQ Pick-Your-Part Pure Stock feature; Ren Wright Jr.\u00a0took the win in the 25-lap Mini Stock feature; Mike Mike Endee won the
\nOutlaw Modified feature; and Lee Davis won the 25-lap Pep Boys Speed Shop\u00a0Modified Mini Stock feature.<\/p>\n
Desoto Speedway is closed next weekend and will return to action on May 21\u00a0with the Sunoco Challenge Super Series Late Models, DART Pro Trucks, Street\u00a0Stocks, Modified Minis, TQ Midgets, Mini Stocks and Bombers.
