Pat Ward Collects First Checkered of 2009

The 2004 Florida Dirt Tour champion, and defending RoC Dirt Tour and Utica Rome Speedway champion Pat Ward picked up the first win of the 2009 modified season at Volusia Speedway Park Wednesday night. Ward and Matt Sheppard battled late in the race for the win, ultimately leading to the top 2 making contact and ending Sheppard's night. Rounding out the top 5 were Dale Planck, Andy Bachetti, Dan Vauter, and Brett Hearn.

Ray Swinehart blew a motor in practice on Tuesday and was a no-show for tonight's action. Jimmy Horton blew a motor tonight, no word if he has another motor with him or not. Billy Decker didn't run his modified tonight, don't expect him to run until Saturday night's $5,000 to win show. 33 big blocks signed into the pits tonight.
