Max McLaughlin brought home his second career Super DIRTcar Series win and first trip to Volusia Speedway Park’s confetti-filled Victory Lane. The 20-year-old pilot of the #32C Sweetener’s Plus Big Block Modified was just barely able to box out future Hall of Fame driver from Unadilla, NY Billy Decker from seizing the win. Hard charger Michael Maresca in the #7MM car cruised from 19th to third in an amazing run through the field to the podium.
