Tim McCreadie delights in his second win in as many nights at Volusia.
What won the race: Using savvy moves in traffic, Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., secured his second straight victory at Volusia Speedway Park in Wednesday's second Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals semifeature. McCreadie passed early leader Daulton Wilson of Fayetteville, N.C., in slower traffic to lead the final 11 of 20 laps.
Quotable: "I tried not to be where (Wilson) was. He's a good little racer. He's going to be really good. ... I thought, damn, we're going to run second," McCreadie said. "Lapped traffic kind of help him up an allowed me to get by. And it kind of held me up. ... We were lucky after that. The restart probably helped me because once it packs the crumbs around the outside, you can really ring it for a few laps."
Key notes: Daulton Wilson, who led laps two through nine, finished 1.294 seconds behind Tim McCreadie. ... McCreadie celebrated his 15th career Georgia-Florida Speedweeks win, which now ties him with Rick Eckert of York, Pa., for ninth all-time. ... One caution for Doug Drown on lap 18 interrupted the eight-minute feature. ... Ten of 17 starters finished on the lead lap. ... The World of Outlaws Case Late Models finish the week with Thursday's $10,000-to-win show followed by Friday’s $12,000 top prize and Saturday's $20,000-to-win finale. ... The Super DIRTcar Series for big-block modifieds is on the undercard. … Watch live on DirtVision.
On the move: Hunt Gossum of Mayfield, Ky., started 14th and finished seventh.

BARBERVILLE, Fla. — Updates and results from second semifeature of the third round of the 52nd annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, highlighted by three $5,000-to-win Super Late Model feature events (results unofficial):

Feature

Using savvy moves in traffic, Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., secured his second straight victory at Volusia Speedway Park in Wednesday's second Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals semifeature. McCreadie passed early leader Daulton Wilson of Fayetteville, N.C., in slower traffic to lead the final 11 of 20 laps.

Pre-race notes

Wednesday brings the warmest day of the week so far with mostly sunny skies and an afternoon high reaching into the 80s. … Fifty-two cars are signed in to compete in the unique Wednesday program, which includes triple 20-lap features each paying $5,000-to-win. Drivers were divided into their respective feature by a blind draw and qualify in their groups. … The final driver to qualify in each group will draw a chip numbering 1, 2, 3 or 4 to determine the inversion for that feature. … With the first feature scheduled to kick off Wednesday’s racing right at the completion of opening ceremonies around 7 p.m., Boom Briggs of Bear Lake, Pa., was among the entrants hoping to pick a number that put him in Race No. 1. Why did Briggs want that race? So he could make an early exit from the pits to enjoy a night at the Ocean Deck bar and restaurant in Daytona Beach. (Alas, Briggs has to stick around because he’s in the third feature.) … Making their first starts of the week are Ryan Gustin of Marshalltown, Iowa, Gordy Gundaker of St. Charles, Mo., Johnny Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., and Colton Flinner of Allison Park, Pa., whose arrival to Volusia was delayed two days because his truck broke down in South Carolina on Sunday night and he had to wait until Tuesday for parts to repair the hauler’s wheel bearings. … With Johnny Scott competing, his twin brother and teammate, Stormy, is sitting out the action. Stormy said he likely won’t race for the remainder of the week so the team’s focus can be put on Johnny’s WoO Rookie of the Year chase. … Another pair of two-car teams is fielding only one entry on Wednesday: Trevor Gundaker of St. Charles, Mo., will carry Millard Racing’s torch (Reid Millard of Jefferson City, Mo., isn’t racing) and Payton Freeman of Commerce, Ga., will be the lone Team 22 Inc. entrant (Austin Kirkpatrick of Concord, N.C., is sitting out but likely to return for WoO action). … Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., pulled into the pit area with his Double L Motorsports hauler late Wednesday afternoon but won’t race for a third straight night; he said a misunderstanding led him to incorrectly believe he was ineligible to compete in the triple 20s because he didn’t enter one of the week’s first two events so he didn’t rush to get to the track. … Mike Spatola of Manhattan, Ill., and David Breazeale of Four Corners, Miss., are racing after changing motors following Tuesday’s program. … Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., has relocated his pit spot for Wednesday’s action, moving from his stall in the upper pit area to the back end of the lower Gator Pond to park near Longhorn house car driver Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y.
