Dale Mathison set the tone from the drop of the green flag Tuesday night at Volusia Speedway Park, winning the DIRTcar UMP Modified opener at the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment.
“Anytime you can win at Volusia with this cast of characters, it’s a good night,” said Mathison, who won for the first time of his career in Florida. “They all run tough and consistent. It was a benefit to start on the front row, there was a good cushion out there and we took advantage of it.”
Mathison’s first victory at Volusia earned him $1,000, plus he also became the first recipient of one of the new unique UNOH DIRTcar Nationals by Summit alligator racing trophies that feature winners will receive this season.
Mathison, of Clearwater, Minn., led all 20 laps by holding off a mid-race charge from Brian Shaw, of Robinson, Ill., and turning back a valiant last-lap effort from 2011 NASCAR Truck Series champion Austin Dillon, who finished a close second after starting the main event from the seventh spot.
Shaw finished third ahead of Kenny Wallace of Concord, N.C., who recovered from a spin on lap six to finish fourth, while Kyle Bronson of Brandon, Fla., rounded out the top five.
DIRTcar UMP Modified regular Devin Gilpin of Columbus, IN, won the evening’s Bullrush Dash for non-qualifiers.
There were 74 DIRTcar UMP Modifieds on hand for the first of eight nights of competition.
