Dedmon was also the victor in the Hoosier Racing Tire Preliminary Round #1 COMP Cams Feature, which transferred him into the VP Racing Fuels Final Round.

Tucker came back at him on the next restart, putting the pressure on Dedmon from behind. In their side-by-side battles, a bit of scraping and rubbing was seen, but nothing extreme. Just enough to turn the heat up early on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was awesome, me and Kendal were beatin\u2019 and bangin\u2019 doors there in the first half of the race,\u201d Dedmon told DIRTVision broadcast host Chase Raudman in the post-race interview. \u201cIt was all clean racing, in my opinion. He got into me a little bit and I got into him a little bit, but that\u2019s kinda what you gotta do in these. I wasn\u2019t holding anything against him for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really would have liked to have gotten a better start and got out front,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cProbably could\u2019ve just used the old mirror and held \u2019em off, but that\u2019s just how it goes sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few yellows thrown intermittently from that point on broke the competitive tension between Dedmon and Tucker, but Dedmon did seem to have a better line in the long run, which gave him the advantage he needed to stay out front of Tucker and a hard-pressing Kilanowski as the laps clicked off.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_562\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-562\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"137\" class=\"wp-image-562 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash-300x137.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash-1024x467.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash-1536x700.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/crash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Grabianowski Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tucker and Kilanowski chased Dedmon down through the closing laps, where they got their best chance to make a move on the leader. With seven laps left on the board, the leaders caught the rear of a lapped car out of Turn 4. Dedmon just barely tapped the driver-side door of the slower car while passing on the inside, while Tucker made a bit more significant contact, cutting into his momentum just enough to allow Dedmon to open up the gap and drive away with the win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pinched one of the lapped cars off pretty good, and actually got him with my right-rear. I was running that kinda slider-line out of Turns 3-4 and coming in high, so I was like, \u2018Man, I gotta go! Can\u2019t be waiting,\u2019\u201d Dedmon said of his lane choice in the closing laps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kept trying that line in Turns 3-4 that [Dedmon] was running,\u201d Tucker said of his view from the cockpit. \u201cEvery time I went to that line, he was just yanking me so much harder. I don\u2019t know how much harder I could have drove this thing, it\u2019s only running about 60 miles an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-563\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" class=\"wp-image-563 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack-1024x522.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack-1536x782.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/30162746\/pack.jpg 1710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Grabianowski Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This was Tucker\u2019s third venture into the DIRTcar eSports world, and the third time he\u2019s been seen up front without a win. In his mind, though, persistence is key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been up front in all of \u2018em, just need some things to go our way. You need a lot of luck on this sim to win. As long as we can keep being up front, we\u2019ll get one eventually,\u201d Tucker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was kinda sitting back, waiting to see if they\u2019d go two-wide and just pick the dominant lane and hopefully get up to second,\u201d Kilanowski said. \u201cKendal was keeping the car wide enough that I couldn\u2019t get to another lane to pass him.
