NASCAR superstar Austin Dillon held off North Carolina’s Nick Hoffman on a green-white-checkered finish to win Tuesday night’s DIRTcar Nationals UMP Modified opener at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, FL.
Dillon built a big advantage from the pole as Hoffman and Dillon’s brother, Ty, surged forward. A late caution bunched the field, giving Hoffman and Ty Dillon one last shot at victory, but Austin Dillon executed a perfect restart and Hoffman wound up settling for second with Ty Dillon in third.
“It’s a great start to our week, it always has been,” said Dillon, who drives for his legendary grandfather Richard Childress in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “I love coming here. It definitely gets your confidence up when you come out the first night and win one. We have a long week ahead of us and hopefully I can get some more wins. I just hope it’s not like when you go fishing and you catch one on the first cast.”
Jake Hawkins was fourth and Kenny Wallace charged 10 spots to round out the top five.
