Devin Moran has made Volusia Speedway Park his January home to package feature wins with the World of Outlaws CASE Late Model Series.
Moran delivered for the second year Friday night at the Barberville, Florida half-mile, winning the series’ season opener and picking up his third straight Sunshine Nationals feature victory between 2023 and 2024.
Polesitter Ethan Dotson, Bobby Pierce, Ricky Thornton, Jr. and Moran traded positions in the top five through the first 12 laps of the 35-lap race.
When the race restarted after the only caution flag of the night, Dotson slid back to fifth place while Moran, Thornton, and Pierce kept battling for the lead.
While they battled, Brandon Sheppard closed on the fight for the top spot. After Moran claimed the lead with 10 laps to go, Sheppard began to close.
But Moran never relinquished the lead and crossed the line to win his first race of 2024.
“I had to drive really hard,” Moran said. “I was really determined to win tonight. My guys worked really really hard all winter on making our car run really fast and we came out of the box proving it. It was a lot of fun and we zigged where we needed to and zagged when we had to, and life was good.”
Sheppard came home second, with Thornton in third, Pierce in fourth, and Tim McCreadie in fifth.
