No gator will be safe when Devin Moran returns to Volusia Speedway Park for the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, Feb. 13-18.<\/p>\n
However, this year, he\u2019ll be hunting for golden gator trophies and his third straight Big Gator Championship behind the wheel of a new, yet already proven, ride.<\/p>\n
Moran joined Double Down Motorsports, owned by Roger Sellers, in December after parting ways with Tye Twarog Racing \u2013 the team he won his two Big Gator titles with \u2013 a couple months prior. The pairing was an instant success during Sunshine Nationals in January at Volusia with the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models, sweeping both Features.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always expect to win,\u201d Moran said about their expectations. \u201cReally, you never know what is going to happen until you get out there and get the year started, obviously, with a new team and two brand new cars. We tested a couple nights and really didn\u2019t feel that great. We felt like we had a good practice for Volusia. Everyone made the right calls, and everyone worked together really good, and, yeah, it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n
He credits their success to instant chemistry, but also to the notebook he\u2019s built with Longhorn that\u2019s led to three Volusia Feature wins and Big Gator titles.<\/p>\n
Before switching to Longhorn Chassis in 2020, Moran only had two top-10 finishes at the half-mile Florida track between 2017 and 2019. After the move, he\u2019s only finished outside the top-five twice at Volusia \u2013 due to DNFs.<\/p>\n
While Double Down Motorsports\u2019 Longhorns aren\u2019t the same chassis he had last year, the feel was no different, Moran said, using the proven setups from his notebook.<\/p>\n
