Stickler sweeps ADMO doubleheader at Desoto

Desoto Speedway
Cody Stickler has made Desoto Speedway his personal playground in J.D.
Byrider Open Wheel Modified action so far in 2016.
No one could touch Stickler in Saturday night's Auburndale-Desoto Modified
twin 50-lap doubleheader. The Pinellas County driver set fast time in
qualifying and led every lap on his way to dominant wins in both feature
races.
Sticker got the wholeshot from the outside pole in the first 50-lap race to
take the lead from Josh Todd at the start. In the first couple of laps,
Doug Moff was caught in two separate spins and was eliminated when he hit
the wall coming out of turn two in the second incident.
Stickler and Todd pulled away from third place Brad Bowman on the restart
and were comfortably ahead of the rest of the pack when Chad Rutherford
spun just in front of the leaders in turn three to bring out the yellow
just before the halfway point.
On the restart Bowman and Brandon Thompson spent several laps battling
side-by-side for the third spot, with Thompson getting the upper hand for
the spot on lap 36. Two laps later, Eric Rudd tagged Nick Hernandez heading
into turn one, bringing out the final caution of the event.
Stickler easily held off Todd the rest of the way and drove on to the
victory. Thompson finished third.
A roll of the dice inverted the top two cars for the second 50-lap feature,
putting Todd on the pole and Stickler on the outside of the front row. In a
replay of the start of the first race, Stickler jumped into the lead at the
green flag and never looked back on his way to completing the sweep – and
third win in three ADMO series races.
Todd finished second, with Thompson rounding out the podium.
Fifteen cars took the green flag for the 40-lap Take Aim Gun Range Street
Stock feature. Danny Caylor passed early leader Bobby Huffstutler for the
top spot on the third lap and was joined at the front of the field two laps
later by Eric Purcell.
The caution came out for an accident involving Jeff Firestine and Bobby
Diestler as the field completed the sixth lap. After the restart Caylor
needed about 10 laps to pull out to a straightaway lead over Purcell and
looked to have the race under control at that point.
But Purcell had other ideas as his car came to life in the second half of
the race. Purcell started chewing away at Caylor's lead and got to within
about five car lengths in the closing laps. Caylor worked his way around
lapped traffic and held off Purcell for the victory. Todd Brown finsihed
third.
In other action Saturday night, Sherry Best held off cousin Jimmie Best to
win her first career LKQ Pick-Your-Part Pure Stock feature; Ren Wright Jr.
took the win in the 25-lap Mini Stock feature; Mike Mike Endee won the
Outlaw Modified feature; and Lee Davis won the 25-lap Pep Boys Speed Shop
Modified Mini Stock feature.
Desoto Speedway is closed next weekend and will return to action on May 21
with the Sunoco Challenge Super Series Late Models, DART Pro Trucks, Street
Stocks, Modified Minis, TQ Midgets, Mini Stocks and Bombers.
