Ward and Sheppard Fastest in Volusia Practice...

After open practice Tuesday night at Volusia Speedway Park, Pat Ward and Matt Sheppard timed quickest after the mighty big block modifieds took to the track for the first time in 2009.

In the first session, Pat Ward set the fastest time of the session. Rounding out the top 5 in times were Matt Sheppard, Jimmy Horton, Dave Camara, and Brett Hearn. In the second session, Sheppard was able to grab quick time, rounding out the top 5 for session two were Ward, Horton, Hearn, and Jeff Brownell.

Three drivers not on the entry list took time, which brings the expected total of cars to 40. The drivers were Jimmy Johnson (driving for Gary Risch), Mario Clair, and Dan Vauter. Also, Sean Beardsley is entered in the John Behron #92 big block modified, and was expected to split driving duties with the rookie, however, he took time in his own #17 modified tonight.

The modifieds have their first race of the season on Wednesday night, Dirt Track Digest and South Jersey Dirt Racing will both have live updates, and Dirt Vision has audio of the racing action.
