Tosh Leads Every Lap In Modifieds
BARBERVILLE, Fla. — Richie Tosh is the latest DIRTcar UMP Modified star from Batesville, Ark., to find his way to victory lane during the DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio when he dominated Saturday night’s qualifying feature for The Gator Championship at Volusia Speedway Park.
Tosh is trying to match what fellow Batesville driver Jared Landers achieved the past two years, a victory in DIRTcar UMP Modified Racing’s most prestigious annual Speed Weeks event, which takes the green flag Monday night.
“We struggled a little bit earlier, but I’ve never driver a car quite like this,” Tosh said.
Tosh led every lap in his Larry Shaw race car, which earned him an extra $100 from the chassis manufacturer based out of his hometown. Tosh was the third driver to win in a Larry Shaw-built machine throughout the first five nights of the DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH.
“We worked though it with my guys over there in the pits,” Tosh said. “We didn’t give up on it and here’s the result.”
Ryan Gustin charged from his fifth to finish second. Bobby Kitchen earned his second consecutive top-five finish in third with Carl McKinney and Nick Hoffman rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Richie Tosh, Ryan Gustin, Bobby Kitchen, Carl McKinney, Nick Hoffman, Dale Mathison, Dave Hess, Jr., Chad Kinder, Austin Dillon, Kyle Bronson, David McWilliams, Scotty Orr, Dave Wietholder, Bob Broking, Nate Carruth, Dave Baldwin, Kip Hughes, Randle Sweeney, Michael Long, Garrett Stewart, Corey Conley, Jamie Lomax, Duane Dale, Brett Korves
