BARBERVILLE, Fla. – Feb. 19, 2011 – Scott Bloomquist and Stewart Friesen captured the final feature events on Saturday night to close out the 40\t\tth<\/sup> DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio at Volusia Speedway Park.<\/p>\n

Bloomquist powered past Billy Moyer on Lap 31 in heavy traffic and held off Brady Smith down the stretch to sweep the World of Outlaws Late Model \t\tSeries events at Volusia. Moyer, who also won two events at the DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH, wound up third and was crowned the overall Late Model Week \t\tchampion.<\/p>\n

Friesen and Bobby Varin waged a race for the ages in the 50-lap Super DIRTcar Series Florida Tour finale. Friesen used the low line all night while \t\tVarin put his car on the cushion, leading to side-by-side racing for the lead over the first 39 laps. The two swapped the lead seven times before \t\tFriesen finally weaved his way through traffic and left Varin behind to lead the final 11 laps for his second victory in four nights.<\/p>\n

Friesen’s victory also earned him his first Super DIRTcar Series Florida Tour championship.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the 12 consecutive nights of racing at Volusia Speedway Park that started on Feb. 8, 14 different drivers earned feature victories. \t\tClint Bowyer won three times in his DIRTcar UMP Modified, seven drivers won two features.<\/p>\n
