For the second time in three years, Dona Marcoullier reigns supreme over the DIRTcar Summer Nationals at Tri-City Motor Speedway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two seasons ago, it was a late pass for the lead that sealed his first Hell Tour<\/em> triumph. Friday night, it was a display of dominance by the 38-year-old from Houghton Lake, MI, as he led all 40 laps around the 3\/8-mile oval to score another $10,000 and his second career victory with the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Tri-City,\u201d Marcoullier said. \u201cIt\u2019s the kind of place that levels-off, where there\u2019s no motor \u2013\u00a0it doesn\u2019t matter. You can have the best car; you\u2019ve just got to be able to drive it. That\u2019s why I like the place so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The night went well for the 6M team, qualifying atop their group and winning Heat Race #4, earning Marcoullier an outside pole starting spot in the redraw. At the drop of the green, he wasted zero time, slipping past polesitter Cody Bauer with momentum on the high side to take the lead on the opening lap.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tire fired good, I didn\u2019t screw-up, I didn\u2019t push, and I just got good momentum running,\u201d Marcoullier said. \u201cThat\u2019s really how this place runs \u2013 you\u2019ve just got to keep the car rolling; you can\u2019t bend the car because there\u2019s no traction. There\u2019s no cushion.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there on out, it was Marcoullier\u2019s race to lose. The race went caution-free in just over 10 minutes total, which meant Marcoullier was never forced through a restart and could stretch his lead \u2013 which went nearly as wide as five seconds at one point.<\/p>\n

Though Marcoullier\u2019s progress through lapped traffic was slowed at various points, the field behind him was unable to catch him. Once Billy Moyer Jr. got to second on Lap 23, he began reeling the leader in slightly, but never got closer than three full seconds back.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Marcoullier went unchallenged for the win and completed the first-ever Michigan sweep of the Hell Tour after fellow Michigander Collin Thirlby won the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Feature earlier on in the evening.<\/p>\n

The win also counts as his third DIRTcar Late Model Feature triumph in four starts at TCMS this season. He did it in his older Black Diamond Race Cars chassis, but it\u2019s the one he knows best, and has built on it since he began winning more often.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just growing up racing my whole life and not having the best equipment,\u201d Marcoullier said. \u201cWe\u2019ve always had smaller motors, older cars, and you just learn how to make those cars work.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we\u2019ve got some better pieces, and we can shine.\u201d<\/p>\n
