Dustin Daggett Dominant with ASCS Patriots at Ohsweken
Tommy Goudge, OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 20, 2010) - Dustin Daggett once again dominated at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday night, claiming the ASCS vs. Corr/Pak Sprint Car Challenge feature by more than five seconds over second place Travis Cunningham.
Travis Cunningham and Bubba Broderick shared the front row for the twenty-five lap feature, and Travis Cunningham got out to the early lead while Dustin Daggett moved from fifth to third on the first lap. Daggett moved by Broderick on lap four and set his sights on Cunningham out front, and Dave Dykstra got by Broderick for third on lap seven.
Cunningham was sticking to the bottom groove while Daggett worked the top side. Daggett made his move for the lead around the outside on lap ten and immediately switched to the low groove to extend his lead. The only stoppage of the race occurred on lap seventeen when Jared Zimbardi spun and did a slow rollover in turn four.
The race restarted with two lapped machines between leader Daggett and second place Cunningham, and Daggett drove away on the restart to lead the rest of the way. Cunningham settled for second, followed by Bryan Howland, Dykstra, and Broderick.
"We've found something that works here, and I don't know what we could have done to make the car any faster tonight," said Daggett in victory lane. "The thing was hooked up and on a rail. The crew did a great job getting this thing ready.
Cunningham was happy with second, highest finisher of Ohsweken's weekly Corr/Pak Merchandising division.
"I'm gonna get one, I promise," said the sophomore driver. "I just stuck to my game plan. I stink up top, so run the bottom and hope she goes good."
Howland extended his points lead in the ASCS Patriot standings by finishing third while second place Jared Zimbardi had trouble.
"That's not really the way you wanna do it," said Howland afterwards. "When he's over here on his side, that's not the way you want to gain on points. Jared's a good friend of mine so you don't want to see that, but by the same token it was a good run for us."
Heat races for the thirty-eight car field were claimed by Kyle Moffit, Jared Zimbardi, Bryan Howland, and Don Adamczyk. Dain Naida and Glenn Styres claimed the B-Main victories.
