By Chris Dolack, DIRTcar Racing P.R.:
Rolling afternoon thunderstorms forced Volusia Speedway Park officials to cancel Friday night’s action at the DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment, setting the stage for a huge finale to the two-week event on Saturday night featuring the World of Outlaws Late Models and Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds.
Four different dirt Late Model drivers have earned victories this week and two different Big-Block Modified racers have won. The Big Gators to event champions are up for grabs on Saturday night with Scott Bloomquist leading the Late Model points and Justin Haers on top of the big-block Modified field
