YORK HAVEN, Pa. (September 26th 2020) Daulton Bigler and the Xtreme Motorsports team headed to BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday for Creekside Auto Sales Late Model competition. Bigler scored his third win of the season at BAPS the previous week and had high expectations heading into Saturday night.
Daulton drew pill #32 to start the evening which lined him up 4th in the 2nd heat race. As the green flag waved on heat #2, Daulton found himself dodging cars on the front straightaway, nearly losing control but saving it, and coming out with the lead heading into turn #1 after an extremely impressive display of driving. Bigler cruised to victory in the heat and earned himself a spot in the invert.
As the winner the previous week, Daulton had to start at the back of the invert. The inversion was a 4, placing Daulton in the 4th starting position for the feature event. Bigler charged to the front during the early laps of the race and engaged in a fierce battle with the leader. While working around a lapped car contact was made, cutting down Bigler’s right rear tire. The crew got the tire changed and Daulton was able to climb back to a 12th place finish.
“We had such a great car all night, and definitely the one to beat, but it just wasn’t meant to be. To be leading and end up having your tire shred, it’s tough. I’m just glad we know we have a car to win every week, and I have an absolute blast driving it. We’ll work on it and have another shot next race.”
