By: Richie Murray - USAC Media
Ocala, Florida (February 4, 2021).........Jason McDougal bested all drivers in Thursday night’s Winter Dirt Games XII USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget practice at Ocala, Florida’s Bubba Raceway Park, the final tune-up prior to the series’ season openers, Friday, February 5, and Saturday, February 6, at the 3/8-mile D-shaped dirt track.
McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) turned a lap of 14.080 in the second session of the night to earn the top time, one of five different drivers to lead a practice session during the night.
Reigning series champ Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) led session one while Kevin Thomas Jr. (Cullman, Ala.) led the third, Buddy Kofoid (Penngrove, Calif.) the fourth and Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) the fifth.
Dalby’s fastest overall time came aboard his Robert Dalby Motorsports/RD Spring & Stamping – Walker Performance Filtration/Spike/Speedway Toyota.* Windom was the second fastest overall followed by Kofoid, series Rookie Chase Randall (Waco, Texas) and Grant.
Also, of note, 2020 opening night Ocala winner Tanner Thorson (Minden, Nev.) was 10th overall while 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott (Dawsonville, Ga.) was 16th.
One incident occurred during Thursday’s practice when Robby Spino (Wallingford, Conn.) flipped hard, nose-to-tail, in turn three, heavily damaging his ride for the weekend.* Spino climbed out of the car under his own power.
On Friday and Saturday, pits open at 4pm ET, front gates open at 5pm and cars get on track at 6pm with qualifying and racing immediately following.* Tickets will be available at the gate on race day.* No pre-order is necessary.
