Close behind were Logan Rumsey, Kendal Tucker, and Dylan Yeager who battled tooth and nail all race for the final two podium positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DIRTcar eSports Pro Late Models The Dirt Track at Charlotte November 24, 2021 | HIGHLIGHTS\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bLuYIdnxVWs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matjoulis couldn\u2019t have started his Thanksgiving festivities any better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt was definitely a good run,\u201d Matjoulis said. \u201cWe had that middle rolling. I don\u2019t think we ever got off the middle\/bottom. I took the lead, put down some consistent laps, never made any mistakes, and it paid off. We ended up pulling away there once we got 10 laps into a run. It felt really good there for a fixed setup.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forty-nine Drydene Pro Late Models attempted to make the 23-car field and it was stacked. The field was so good that Matjoulis never caught lapped traffic over the course of a 30+ lap green flag period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cUsually you have some lapped traffic 15-20 laps into a run,\u201d Matjoulis noted. \u201cIt was pretty odd not having any lapped traffic. But it was a good thing for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The top side seemed to dominate qualifying and Heat Races but the winner worked the low line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI thought the bottom would have stayed along for a little longer but it seemed to fade around halfway,\u201d Matjoulis said. \u201cWe just road the middle there. It would have been interesting to see some lapped traffic to see if they caught up but either way, I think we would have been alright.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Logan Rumsey took home $175 for second place. His night was set up for success in the Heat Race when two heavyweights exchanged blows in front of him knocking themselves out of the top two spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI didn\u2019t expect much tonight,\u201d Rumsey said. \u201cI got lucky in the Heat Race. Alex [Bergeron] and Hayden [Cardwell] got together so I won the Heat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drivers were constantly watching the changing Limaland surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to run the top in the Feature,\u201d Rumsey noted. \u201cI was just going to roll the middle to stay out of trouble. It worked out. Blake [Matjoulis] is so good at these slick tracks. Yeager was all over me. I\u2019m pretty sure I was in the way but I\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Third place Kendel Tucker nabbed the final podium position from Dylan Yeager off the final corner of the race. Tucker wasn\u2019t satisfied and knows he needs to improve overall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt was a really good run in the Feature,\u201d Yeager said. \u201cI gotta get my qualifying program together. It was terrible. Not sure what I need to do to figure out. It\u2019s tough starting this far back every race I am in.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>FEATURE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (40 laps) 1. 127-Blake Matjoulis [3]; 2. 41-Logan Rumsey [4]; 3. 0-Kendal Tucker [8]; 4. 48-Dylan Yeager [2]; 5. 9-Tanner Tomasi [5]; 6. 27-Josh Thoma [6]; 7. 33-Evan Seay [18]; 8. 8-Austin Hunter7 [11]; 9. 12-Alex A Bergeron [9]; 10. 22-Mason Clark [10]; 11. 97-Tyler Kinsey [14]; 12. 85-Tyler Schell [20]; 13. 36-Ethan C Toedter [15]; 14. 45-Hagen Sorensen [16]; 15. 35-Nick Cooper [22]; 16. 72-Mike Augustine [13]; 17. 331-Dustin Hall3 [21]; 18. 157-Drew Hopkins [7]; 19. 7-Hayden Cardwell [17]; 20. 21-Lyndon Whitfill [12]; 21. 4-Brandon Stuhler [19]; 22. 8-Blair Kraus [23]; 23. 28-Mason Lobb [1]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DIRTcar Street Stocks presented by Chevy Performance\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former real-world racer and Orange County Fair Speedway fan Bobby Rafferty picked up his first career DIRTcar eSports Feature win after 25 hardscrabble laps around Limaland.

I am literally shaking after that race. Forget the $100 or anything. This is an official DIRTcar race win. Being a guy from the northeast that lives five minutes from Orange County Fair Speedway, this one means a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tight confines of Limaland and its notoriously slick surface on iRacing made for a challenging race track for the competitors. Multiple cautions kept the field bunched up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt was a patience game,\u201d Rafferty noted. \u201cMyself, Brett [Rowles], and Bailey [Hipp] all got together in the Heat.
