Dave
was today’s quick qualifier, taking the pole with a time
of 17.43
A
man on a mission is the best way to describe Dave's mood for tonight's
race!.
It would prove to be the most gratifying thus far!
Dave's sheer determination to win tonight’s event gave him
his third win of the season.
Today’s weather
would be hot and humid!
Dave, the current point
leader knew that tonight’s race could prove pivotal in the
chase for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Mini Modified Series.
He was focused and determined to bring home his third win of the
season.
Dave would motor his
way from the back of the field slowly passing his competitors
clean. The first caution flag would wave as Bobby Able took his
car on a wild ride on two wheels down the back straight-a-way.
With #59 Keith Riley
in the lead and #11 Green in second, the caution flag waved for
an on track incident involing both drivers, which also resulted
in the #11 car of Green having to come into the pits for a window
net malfunction. On the restart Dave would take a commanding lead
before the #40 car would bring out the third caution of the evening.
The caution tightened the field and now had Green on Dave’s
bumper. Green was able to hold his momentum for a while, but both
drivers would encounter lapped traffic. Dave’s car was dialed
in and after clearing the traffic, he gained a quarter track lead
over the field, a lead that was continuing to grow with each lap,
and resulted in taking the checkers.
A special thanks to Old Dominion Speedway
for distributing the following article in their trailer as drivers
signed in for today's event.
I found the article to be interesting and right on the money!
Dave Daniels
powered his way to his 3rd win of the season in the 30 lap Mini
Modified feature. Daniels, the current point leader in the division,
was able to hold off a hard charging Paul Green at the end. Green,
who had to make a pit stop under caution for his window net that
come down, cut his way through field, but was not able to mount
a serious charge at the end. Keith Riley finished 3rd, while Joe
Riley and Nick Johnston rounded out the top 5. With just one race
remaining for the Mini Modifieds, Daniels takes a slim 10 point
advantage over Green into the final event scheduled for September
26th.
