C2CRL Hometown Heroes W6 Recap

19 Jan 2022
Coast 2 Coast Racing League | Week 6
Hometown Heroes Series | Volusia Speedway Park

Randy Shreves took the win in the A&J Custom Creations 305 Sprints Series with the Coast 2 Coast Racing League Hometown Heroes Series feature race at Volusia Speedway beating Andy Patton and Jeff Flaro to the line in a GWC finish. Shreves gave us a moment to talk about getting to the inside of Patton on the last restart, “[Patton] caught me once and then after that I realized he was going a little bit before the green. So, I kind of read his start a little bit.”

Kyle Moonen dominated the ABR Setup Shop 360 Sprints Series 25 lap feature finishing ahead of John Heyn and Randy Shreves. Heyn made a strong charge to the front from the middle of the field through the event, but it wasn’t enough in the end to challenge Moonen for the lead. “When we had one with like five to go, I wasn’t too thrilled about that… that gave [Heyn] five laps to do something if we stayed green.”, Moonen commented about his late race restarts. “Once we got that second one with two to go, I knew that if I got a pretty good start and jumped out ahead of them… it’s less time for whoever’s in second and third to try something different and make it happen.”

Kyle Parker led every lap to victory in the COOLRAY Air Conditioning & Heating Pro Late Model Series feature event ahead of Brandon Templeton and Nick Vickrey. Several cautions in the first half of the race kept the field packed together, but the drivers’ seemed to find their stride afterward with a good green flag run to the finish. “I was hoping for a little more green flag running in the beginning”, Parker commented after his win. Coming back to the series after a six-month break, Parker made a strong statement with his win tonight. “To come out and lead about every lap… gets my confidence up a little bit and kind of show them that I’m not a push over.”
