The Modified and Late Model veteran clinches his first DIRTcar points championship with two wins in Florida<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coming into the 13th and final race of UMP Modified Florida Speedweeks, Kyle Strickler sat 43 points behind the leader with only one 30-lap Feature left in front of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was set to take the green flag from 17th position on the starting grid, driving one of DIRTcar UMP Modified racing\u2019s fastest tracks \u2013 Volusia Speedway Park \u2013 buried halfway deep in a field of the best racers from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought there was no chance today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walls were closing in, and Strickler\u2019s canteen of hope was running dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were not fast enough to win this race,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after hours of work in the pits with the Melanie Motorsports crew, Strickler pulled onto the track with a car that was<\/em> fast enough. In 27 laps, he passed every car in front of him and went on to take the checkered flag in the Gator Championship Feature, surging 53 points in the standings to surpass his deficit by 10 points and clinch the Speedweeks championship for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor it all to come together on Saturday, I couldn\u2019t have drawn it up to be any more perfect in the way it played out,\u201d Strickler, 39, of Mooresville, NC, said. \u201cIt took a little bit to sink in, but I was really happy with our overall performance and being able to get that points championship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back to his earliest days in the UMP Modified ranks in the mid-2000s, Strickler has since established himself as one of the nation\u2019s top dirt Modified racers, but never possessed any DIRTcar points championships until 2024 Speedweeks. He admits he\u2019s always raced for Feature wins and has never been a \u201cpoints racer,\u201d but Strickler said his efforts during Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals \u2013 and an untimely DNF from defending champion Lucas Lee \u2013 in the final race contributed the most to finally accomplishing a longtime goal of his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s kinda what led to the points championship, because I was so focused on doing whatever I had to do Saturday to give myself the best chance at winning that race, and whatever happens, happens,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cI think if I would\u2019ve been leading or [if it was] a tight points battle, I might\u2019ve run the race a little different, trying to salvage the points title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut it was balls-to-the-wall, do everything we could to try to win that race. Then, with Lucas\u2019 (Lee) misfortune, it all played out and worked out in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Volusia featured his crowning moment, some of Strickler\u2019s early Speedweeks results fell short of his expectations. He began the two-week grind with a win in the opening race at North Florida Speedway but followed with three-straight DNFs at East Bay Raceway Park \u2013 due to mechanical failure, a blown tire and other incidents \u2013 setting him 76 points back in third place. In the remaining nine races, Strickler finished outside of the top-five only once and won twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He arrived in Lake City for the first race at North Florida with only his equipment, himself to work on the car and help from Jerovetz Motorsports Shock Service. But as Speedweeks progressed, Strickler picked up more crew help from his dedicated friends and sponsors that helped him prepare the car for a steep climb back in the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Troy Girolamo] with G-Style Transport \u2013 he came down to race, but he brought two of his guys with, Josh and Jake, that were there to help me,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cI had Glenn and Lori Miller that are longtime friends; they came over at Volusia and East Bay. Then, I had the guys from QuickDump and American Fence; they came over to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was definitely a support group thing that helped me keep everything together and keep battling. Whether it be through the bad luck, through the broke motors, wrecks\u2026 it was definitely a hard-fought battle and a huge struggle at some points.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his biggest help came from longtime team owners\/sponsors at Melanie Motorsports. They\u2019ve supported all of his racing operations, from Modified to Late Model, with sponsorship from Donaldson Grading and KAT Industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCharlie and Melanie Donaldson \u2013 they\u2019ve stuck with me,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cCharlie and I, when I first moved to North Carolina, he was one of my first guys to help me go racing and is still with me today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his Modified success still fresh in his mind, Strickler turns his attention back to his Super Late Model, which he\u2019ll race on a pick-and-choose schedule in 2024. He\u2019s also got plans to contest the Modified in several marquee events across the country \u2013 riding the wave of Florida momentum as he continues to be a major player in the division that made him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool to do it, and the way that we did it was awesome as well,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cStepping back to have fun and just go back to my roots.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
