It was a pair of Peach State pilots that scored big in World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series action at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida on Wednesday night.
Brandon Overton and Ashton Winger both picked up victories as a part of the 51st DIRTcar Nationals at the 1/2-mile dirt oval.
In the first feature, Overton managed to score the win despite not being sure if his ending would last the final few laps. As the Evans, Georgia native held his breath and hoped the engine would stay together, Devin Moran lurked behind him.
“I was looking, and I could see it smoking, and I knew it’s got to be over pretty soon,” Overton said. “I was just getting it so tight down there I was just holding it to the floor. I could tell it was dying. It was just muffling out.
“Hell, there ain’t nothing you can do. It’s already done its damage.”
Before the engine started to blow, Overton’s car came to life in the second half of the race. After taking advantage of a caution for then race leader Kyle Strickler, Overton powered around Chickamauga, Georgia’s Dale McDowell for the top spot.
From there, Overton held on to score his 19th career series victory. Moran followed in second, with Brandon Sheppard in third, Hudson O’Neal in fourth and Darrell Lanigan in fifth.
In the second feature, which was make-up for January’s postponed Sunshine Nationals event, Hampton, Georgia’s Ashton Winger grabbed the lead on the opening lap, and held off several challenges to score the victory.
Winger grabbed the lead on the opening lap and ran for the hills, opening a gap to the rest of the field behind him. A few quick caution flags slowed his momentum and forced him to play defense on restarts, which cost him the lead at one point.
Chris Madden got a great jump on a lap 6 restart and made a move for the lead to Winger’s inside down the backstretch, holding the advantage through turns 3 and 4 and officially taking control at the stripe. But Winger powered back by Madden to regain the lead.
The green stayed out until just after halfway, when a spinning Daulton Wilson brought out the caution and restacked the field, putting Madden and Dale McDowell right on Winger’s tail for the restart. McDowell got a better run on the restart and took second from Madden.
Back out front, Winger was on cruise control in traffic, driving across the line with a gap of just over two seconds on the field to claim the $10,000 winner’s payday and fourth series win of his career.
“I felt that I got in a pretty good rhythm there with about 15 or so to go,” Winger said. “With about seven-to-go, I felt that I killed my tires, and I couldn’t get by them lapped cars like I wanted to.”
McDowell, Madden, Devin Moran, and Hudson O’Neal rounded out the top five.
