Austin Dillon knew what he had to do to get into Alltel Wireless Victory Lane on Tuesday night at Volusia Speedway Park.
“I don’t know what it was, I just had to get up on the wheel tonight,” the 18-year-old phenom said after receiving his eagle trophy. “I’m really glad to get this second bird and keep it all in the Shaw by Landers Camp.”
Dillon started seventh but wasn’t there long as he rocketed all the way to third before a caution on Lap 7. Austin made quick work of his younger brother, Ty, on the restart and immediately went after leader Gary Cook Jr., who had led from the onset soon found himself four wheels above the cushion as Dillon flew by under him.
“Cook drove me clean and I have to thank my brother for not coming up too high when I went around him on the outside,” Austin Dillon said. “My car was awesome.”
The win gave Dillon his second chance to let fans know why they should vote for him in the Alltel All-Star contest. Dillon’s reasoning was the most unique to date in the competition.
“You need to vote for us because we’re going to help out another racer that got hurt awhile ago,” he said. “I’m sure you guys have heard of Tim McCreadie, we want to use it to pay one of his medical bills.”
Ty Dillon settled for a second-place finish in as many nights. He had a strong run the night before but lapped traffic allowed overall event champion Landers around him late in the race.
“Two seconds in a row,” Ty Dillon said. “We almost won last night and then my brother and I are one, two tonight. We shut them out this week.”
The Dillon’s grandfather, Richard Childress, joined his grandsons in victory lane to celebrate the podium finishes.
“I’m really proud of both of them,” said Childress, a long-time NASCAR team-owner. “To be one, two that’s just great.
Minnesota native Darrell Nelson ended up on the podium for the first time in competition on the final night of racing for the UMP DIRTcar Modifieds.
“This is like being at the Daytona 500. We have Childress, Dillon, and Landers.” commented Nelson. “I’m really happy.”
Landers had a strong run go sour on the final night of competition but he still claimed the overall points title for the 38th edition of the Alltel DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH. He won five nights of competition, tying Canada’s Steve Arpin for most wins in a DIRTcar Nationals event.
“I’ve had a great week,” said Landers, of Batesville, Ark. “I’m so glad I’ve won this. I’m glad that Alltel gave us the opportunity to be a part of the Alltel All-Star. They’re helping our sport and making it a big deal to come down here.”
Six heat races were run in the night’s program. Winners were Illinois drivers Gary Cook Jr., Mike Spatola, Indiana shoe Kent Robinson, Ty Dillon, Darrell Nelson, and New Mexico driver Stormy Scott.
Consolation races went to Alan Mondus, Rich Michael Jr., and Les Duellman.
