Kyle Strickler is looking to make a bit of history at the eighth annual World Short Track Championship. Thursday night at The Dirt Track at Charlotte was a solid first step as he dominated the Summit Racing Equipment<\/a> DIRTcar UMP Modified All-Star Invitational Feature.<\/p>\n

In his quest to become only the fourth driver to win four World Short Track titles, Strickler \u2013 the UMP Modified veteran from Mooresville, NC \u2013 started the weekend with a strong performance in the 15-lap All-Star event, leading every lap from the pole and crossing the finish line almost five seconds ahead of his competition.<\/p>\n

Despite his excellence in the Invitational and a second-best lap in Qualifying, Strickler said he did not always feel as comfortable in the car as he would have preferred, until the Feature, where he felt a world of difference.<\/p>\n
