Monday's race: Seventh of 30 originally scheduled Super Late Model events from Jan. 22-March 7.
Venue: Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.
Race details: The $7,000-to-win DIRTcar-sanctioned event opens six nights of Super Late Model action to wrap up the lengthy DIRTcar Nationals.
Weather forecast: Areas of patchy fog early and cloudy, becoming mostly sunny this afternoon. High 74F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph; some clouds this evening will give way to mainly clear skies overnight. Low 42F. Winds light and variable.
Who's Hot: Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., is aiming to become the first driver to win four consecutive Georgia-Florida Speedweeks events since Brandon Sheppard in 2019.
Who's Not: Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill. (at least according to his standards) is looking for his first top-five of the since January’s Wild West Shootout after a middling Sunshine Nationals performance last month.
DirtonDirt prediction: Devin Moran of Dresden, Ohio, opens his season with a victory to continue a streak of four consecutive years with at least one Volusia victory. — Todd Turner
Around the Pits: Volusia’s six nights of action between DIRTcar and World of Outlaws sanctioning actually includes eight scheduled features with triple $5,000-to-win events set for Wednesday. … Tim McCreadie returns to Volusia following a Sunshine Nationals victory last month that gave him his 11th career Super Late Model win at the historic track. … McCreadie is the third winningest Super Late Model driver at Volusia behind Billy Moyer (19 victories) and the late Scott Bloomquist (12). … Ricky Thornton Jr. of Chandler, Ariz., won a pair of modified features during the previous week’s DIRTcar Nationals action at Volusia (and Thornton's Koehler Motorsports teammate Jordan Koehler won the week’s Big Gator Trophy).
Up next: Another $7,000-to-win DIRTcar Nationals Super Late Model feature on Tuesday.
Next week: The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series opens its season with Feb. 19-21 events at All-Tech Raceway in Ellisville, Fla.
This Date in Dirt Late Model History: On Feb. 9, 2002, Mike Duvall of Cowpens, S.C., notched his seventh and final career Georgia-Florida Speedweeks victory with a $2,000 triumph at Thunder Cross Motorsports Park in Okeechobee, Fla. His third-to-first move past Terry Eaglin and Jeff Choquette with six laps remaining sealed the victory.
Speedweeks trivia: Who is the lone Louisiana-based driver with a Speedweeks victory? (Answer in Tuesday's almanac; Saturday’s answer: Indiana Hall of Famer Dick Potts).
