The most
prestigious dirt racing event in the country was held last weekend at The Dirt
Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Textron Off Road World Finals.
It
was a huge three-day event that brought fans and drivers from across the world
to witness several Bicknell drivers make history.
In
front of a packed grandstands, Thursday evening saw the Big Block Modifieds hit
the track to qualify for both their Friday and Saturday events.
Mike
Mahaney had a night to remember by sweeping both qualifying sessions and picking
up two heat race victories. Mahaney’s success was just the start of the
three-day weekend.
Bicknell
went on to set the bar even higher by sweeping all six Big Block Modified heat
races.
Friday
nights 40-lap event saw the underdog take on the Super DIRTcar Series Champ,
Matt Sheppard. At the end it was Mat Williamson who did the rooftop dance.
Nine
out of the top ten finishers in Friday nights portion were Bicknell cars.
During
the final night of competition, Sheppard capped off one of the greatest
comebacks in Super DIRTcar history. After a suspension halfway through the
season, very few thought Sheppard could make a comeback. In true champion
fashion, Sheppard made his 12th visit to victory lane with the series Saturday
night and secured his third straight and sixth overall Super DIRTcar Series
Championship.
Keith
Flach ended his weekend with a second-place finish on Saturday. Flach’s
second-place finish was his best ever finish with the Super DIRTcar Series
regulars.
Ten
out of the top 11 finishers in Saturday nights 40-lap feature were Bicknell
cars.
