Harrison Burton made it two in a row at Tuesday night at Florida’s New Smyrna Speedway, but not the way he planned.

The 16-year-old was awarded the victory after Ty Majeki was disqualified during the post-race inspection after his fuel cell was found gutted.

The Huntersville, North Carolina, driver started the 75-lap race on the pole, but lost the lead to Stephen Nasse early in the race.

“It wasn’t the way we wanted to win,” said Burton. “We want to come out here and beat everyone by a half of a race track. But some nights you can’t do that and sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. We still won two in a row and we had to pass Nasse with five to go to be in position to win that race.

“That’s why you never give up and you never quit, because you never know what’s going to happen on and off the race track, as we saw here tonight.”

Majeski was flagged as the winner after taking the lead from Nasse with nine laps to go. After racing side-by-side around the track, the 22-year-old Seymour, Wisconsin, native made contact with Nasse’s door in Turn 4 to drive away with the win.

Dalton Armstrong finished third, with Daniel Keene, Jr. in fourth and defending New Smyrna Speedway champion Brad May in fifth.

Nasse was originally awarded the third spot, but he was also disqualified post-race for gutting his fuel cell.

David Rogers, Derek Griffith, Dawsonville, Georgia’s Spencer Davis, Cole Anderson and Derek Kraus rounded out the top 10.

With the victory, Burton has a commanding lead in the Super Late Model championship standings.

The Super Late Model division will be back in action Wednesday for a 35-lap feature.

Tyler Rypkema won the 35-lap Tour Type Modified race while Jerry Symons took home the win in the 75-lap Florida Modified victory.

New Smyrna Speedway officials announced on Wednesday morning via Twitter that, due to the amount of rain expected in the area during the day, night six of the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing will be cancelled for Feb. 22. The Tour Type Modifieds John Blewett 76 be rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 23.
