BARBERVILLE, Fla. Cole Falloway drove like a seasoned veteran to score his win at Volusia Speedway Park on Friday night.

However, it was only his second start there.

Finishing first in every event he competed in, the Owensboro, Ky., driver set the quick time in qualifying, led every lap of his heat race and then led all 20 laps for the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds at Volusia Speedway Park.

Mitch Thomas and Falloway led to the green flag, with Falloway taking the top spot with a stronger start than Thomas on the high line.

Seeing Thomas falter early, Trevor Neville took over second place as Thomas No.97 machine struggled to gain momentum on his side.

Things immediately went wrong for Thomas and Neville on the sixth lap. Their cars collided in Turn 4, causing heavy damage and eliminating the two from competing for the duration of the feature.

Falloway had a new lineup of modifieds to defend, as Will Krup and Thursdays podium finishers David Stremme and Kyle Strickler attempted their hunt towards taking the win away from the No. 66 modified.

Strickler and Stremme battled for the final podium position, culminating in the High Side Tickler taking his No.8 Elite Chassis up to the high side of the track and swinging by Stremme for the spot.

With the laps ticking down, Falloway played it safe with a comfortable three-second lead over Krup as he crossed under the twin checkered flags for his first DIRTcar Nationals Golden Gator trophy and a $1,200 check.

Last night was mostly me getting comfortable, Falloway said. I think we had a better car than what we showed last night, and tonight I was able to set Quick Time and won my Heat so I could get out front and make laps in the Feature. I cant thank everybody enough who helps me out.

Krup drove toward a feel-good second-place finish after a mechanical issue in Thursday nights qualifying session took the driver out of the nights program.

I mean, Ill take this over last night all day, Krup said. We had a good piece, we just obviously need to get a little better. I couldnt quite get turned into (Turn 3), but well take this over last night for sure.

Strickler snagged third place to build his lead in the UMP Modified Speedweeks points, and sits in prime position for a front-row starting spot in Saturdays opening week finale after starting the feature in 10th place.

Im actually happier about a third tonight than I was for a second last night, Strickler said. I thought we had the best car last night and didnt win, and I felt like we had a decent car tonight but we started so far back. We were able to maneuver through the field and got the Elite Chassis one, two, three, so I know thats important for Nick (Hoffman) and everybody involved.

Stremme finished the night in fourth and Thursdays winner Curt Spalding was fifth.
