We'll get better for tomorrow."Įarning their first top-five finishes of the season was Carson Macedo with a Hard Charger Award from 16th to fourth, and Jacob Allen with an impressive fifth-place bid. I was searching and that's not a feeling you want late in the going. These last five to seven laps are what wins and loses races in this Series. I struggled as I got to traffic with my pace and couldn't get off turn two as well as them. "You hate to come up short, but Sheldon and David did a phenomenal job. "Wow, that was a really fun race," Sweet noted afterward. The Kasey Kahne Racing, NAPA Auto Parts #49 controlled Laps 22-28, but costly mistakes in turns one and two combined with the pace of lap traffic ultimately cost The Big Cat his 75th career win.

I hope everyone enjoyed that!"Īlthough it's only the second of 90+ races, a noteworthy feat is that Gravel escaped with the points lead for the first time in his World of Outlaws career. We weren't going to stop fighting for that one. "When I could haul ass and get this thing to lay left it was still amazing, but when I slowed down and got into the holes that's where I gave it away. "I knew on that last restart with 16 to go that my right front shock was gone, but damn I wanted to win this race," a motivated Gravel said. However, the holes ate up his unbalanced machine coming to the checkered flag and created a big bobble, allowing Haudenschild to square him up and cross him over to edge him at the line by 0.044 seconds. The Watertown, CT native set Slick Woody's QuickTime, won the DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash, and led 22 of 30 laps, including at the white flag. Losing the right front shock at halfway, the 29-year-old veteran never wavered and instead adapted to the ever-changing Big Game Motorsports #2. Haudenschild's 23rd career World of Outlaws win gives the Wooster, Ohio, native his second Golden Gator almost exactly four years after he won his first-career Feature at Volusia's DIRTcar Nationals back in 2018.Īlbeit a heartbreaker, Gravel's runner-up effort was wildly impressive considering the circumstances. We've got a great group focused on having fun and winning races." Those two were gassing it up and I can only imagine how it looked from the stands. "What a wild race," Haudenschild said to a standing ovation. Reigning champion Brad Sweet was in the catbird seat with two to go, then points leader David Gravel asserted himself as he led the white flag lap, but ultimately it was Sheldon Haudenschild inching out the victory by forty-four one-thousandths of a second (0.044) at the checkered flag. Hosting a race of the year candidate at Volusia Speedway Park, the DIRTcar Nationals Feature was highlighted by three different leaders over the final two laps at the Barberville, FL 1/2-mile.
