Dirt Racing’s Winning Moment: David Gravel blasted by Buddy Kofoid on a restart with less than 10 laps to go, scoring his second World of Outlaws feature win of Friday (Feb. 10) at Volusia Speedway Park after winning a rescheduled feature from Thursday’s rain out earlier in the afternoon.
Gravel became the first driver since Daryn Pittman in 2019 to win two consecutive features to start a WoO campaign.
Dirt Racing’s Dramatic Moment: Daulton Wilson was rapidly on closing on Hudson O’Neal in the waning laps for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Friday night at East Bay, but jumped the cushion and slapped the wall in turn 3 with two to go, leaving O’Neal to grab his second consecutive Winternationals victory.
O’Neal’s win marked five straight victories for Rocket Chassis cars at East Bay after the brand was skunked in the opening six races of the LOLMDS season.
What Dirt Racing Fans’ll Be Group Chatting About This Morning
Yes, Rocket Chassis has proven competitive again. They’re not “back” until they win at Volusia. Longhorn Chassis was ridiculously dominant on longer, high-speed ovals in 2022 and they’ve yet to be vanquished on that type of track. Of course, this syncs up awful well with the sudden momentum O’Neal and the Rocket Chassis house team now have.
It was amusing to me that there was apparently enough to time to wheel all three top finishers of Friday night’s (technically Saturday morning’s) WoO feature for the customary victory lane formation, yet there wasn’t enough time to interview second-place Kofoid or third-place Logan Schuchart because they needed to get the modified program moving. Please. If the modified program really was that important to DIRTcar they could have done all that victory lane hat dancing in the infield as they rolled the mods onto the track.
The term GOAT gets tossed around way too freaking loose these days. When it comes to a man that won 20 series championships, it’s totally appropriate. Congratulations to Steve Kinser for this recognition Friday night at Volusia.
The Workin’ Man Nationals out at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway had an anemic crowd in the grandstands Friday, but that’s hardly surprising. Ask any hiring manger, there’s not a lot of workin’ men around these days.
No major dirt touring series ever leaves Georgia/Florida Speedweeks without announcing dates for 2024, but there was another date that drew a ton…
