If the word \u201cD\u00e9j\u00e0 vu\u201d had a picture attached to it, Timmy Hogan would be the face of the definition.<\/span><\/p>\n On Friday night, the Lake Helen, FL driver claimed his second consecutive 3\/4 Modified Feature win at the Germfree Southern Sprint Car Shootout in a similar lucky break to Thursday night\u2019s finish.<\/span><\/p>\n Hogan and Deland, FL\u2019s Ethyn Hwan led the field to the green, with Hogan quickly jumping out to the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n Pierson, FL\u2019s Colton Lane joined in the mix of the two drivers, using the bottom lane to claim the lead in the Feature.<\/span><\/p>\n While Lane\u2019s car began to spread away from the pack, Hogan and Hwan kept pedaling to try and catch the 13-year-old speedster.<\/span><\/p>\n Cautions gave Hogan and Hwan a chance at snagging the lead, along with other 3\/4 Modified favorites like Lake Helen, FL\u2019s Steven Powers, and Orange City, FL\u2019s Rusty Young.<\/span><\/p>\n Lane got a slow restart with three laps to go, giving Hogan a chance to swoop down the bottom of the track to snag the lead from the #26L.<\/span><\/p>\n On the last lap, Lane and Hwan collided on the backstretch while trying to catch Hogan, going back-to-back in Feature wins with the 3\/4 Modifieds.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSame situation as last night,\u201d Hogan said. \u201c(Lane) had the faster car and the one to beat because I couldn\u2019t catch him. He had a little more bite than I did. I was able to hang onto him, I didn\u2019t give up, I just kept pace and waited for a mistake to be made. We had a couple of cautions and he kept getting me good on the restarts. I don\u2019t know what happened to him, so I just drove around and beat him to the corner. I was able to keep it on the bottom the last two laps and brought it back into victory lane.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n His son, Steven Powers, came home to finish second place after avoiding the last-lap incident and making a huge comeback in the Feature after spinning out to cause the first caution.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI had trouble to start,\u201d Powers said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t good in the Heat, talked to my dad and we got it fixed. It was a little loose up trying to figure out how to fix it. I flat-footed it, ended up looping it in turn four. I knew I didn\u2019t hit the wall hard, but it was more damage than I thought. We\u2019ll be alright though. I had to play it smart because I knew (the field) was a little bit slower. I picked them off on the high side, trying to get by clean. I got up to third and I tried to be the bologna in the sandwich and they closed the door. I had to let off to get by the last lap wreck, I saw the opening, and I just drove.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Hwan recovered to finish third at the finish, with a car he believes he\u2019s got dialed in.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe race was fun,\u201d Hwan said. \u201cWe finally got this car dialed in at (Battle in Barberville) and we had engine problems and I think we\u2019ve got that figured out. The car was way too tight on the bottom and it could roll around the top well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Young came home to finish fourth, and Pierson, FL\u2019s Dustin Childers wrapped up the night\u2019s top five finishers.<\/span><\/p>\n UP NEXT<\/b>: The 3\/4 Modifieds join the USCS Sprint Cars for the finale of the Germfree Southern Sprint Car Shootout, Jan. 26-27.
