Dirt Racing’s Winning Moment: Mike Gular took advantage of a late-race caution and pounced on home-state driver Jordan Watson, pulling past him in turn 2 with two laps to go and driving off to the feature win at Delaware International Speedway Wednesday night (April 12).
The victory marked the second in less than a week for Gular, who won over the weekend at Grandview Speedway as well. Runner-up finisher Watson faced some heckling in the grandstands during his post-race interview, where he was vocal that a bad carburetor was causing his engine to lay down and cost him Wednesday’s win.
Dirt Racing’s Dramatic Moment: Sheldon Creed was sent into one of the most violent tumbles Millbridge Speedway has seen in recent memory on the opening lap of the wingless micro sprint feature at the track, slammed into the frontstretch wall after polesitter Cole Dewease doored him on the opening start.
Creed was fortunately uninjured but suffered serious damage to his racecar. The incident collected numerous other cars, including fellow Xfinity Series regular Brandon Jones.
What Dirt Racing Fans’ll Be Group Chatting About This Morning
I’ve long been fiercely opposed to drivers confronting others in stopped racecars while they’re strapped in, but if Creed had opted to take advantage of Dewease being strapped in at Millbridge I might have looked the other way. Creed was wronged in a major-league way this Wednesday night.
Ryan Watt fortunately walked away from the hardest wreck of the evening at Delaware (more on that later), but Flo Racing’s cameras stayed focused on the wrecked racecar for a good long while without knowing whether Watt was uninjured. Surprising flaw in Wednesday’s broadcast given just how many nasty crashes have been plaguing dirt racing the last week.
I don’t care that it was the score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Marricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” is now property of Modelo’s overly-preachy beer commercials and makes driver intros feel sappy. Be it the RUSH late models or the Super DIRTcar Series, please stop making this music part of pre-race activities.
Excellent news off the track today, as Jake Neuman continues to show signs of improvement after his nasty wreck in Tuesday’s High Limit race at Lakeside.
