Only one word describes Mat Williamson\u2019s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals in 2023. Storybook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The St. Catharines, ON driver, scored two Super DIRTcar Series wins at Volusia Speedway Park with thrilling last-lap passes on Jack Lehner and Demetrios Drellos, paving the way to his first big gator trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019ll return to Volusia on Feb. 14-17 for the 53rd Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, aiming for his second consecutive DIRTcar Nationals title in the Buzz Chew Chevrolet #88. Only this time, he hopes it doesn\u2019t take him the whole race to get the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost storybook to think about,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cWhen you win races on the last lap, first off, it doesn\u2019t happen very often, but to get two of them down in Florida and turn that into a big gator was pretty cool. Obviously, we couldn\u2019t have scripted it any better on our end, but we wish it would\u2019ve been a little easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those two wins continued momentum for \u201cMoney Mat,\u201d who won two of the three races at World Finals to finish 2022. He didn\u2019t stop winning after DIRTcar Nationals, either. Williamson also earned the first two victories in the championship season, holding off Matt Stangle at Bridgeport and winning by more than 17 seconds at Weedsport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williamson hopes to repeat that fast start in 2024 as a spark toward his second Super DIRTcar Series title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone tends to say what happens in Florida never translates to anything up North,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cWhen you run down in Florida and don\u2019t run well, you tend to wish that was almost the case. But last year, it seemed to transpire to some momentum for us. We picked up a few wins earlier in the year last year, and normally, that\u2019s not my style. Usually, we don\u2019t win until September or October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe big gator worked out good for us getting momentum last year, and hopefully we can keep that rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last season, Williamson figured out the formula for success at \u201cThe World\u2019s Fastest Half-Mile.\u201d But he also knows what not to do. That lesson came from The Dirt Track at Charlotte last season, after making changes that he said kept him out of Victory Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we learned we just need to unload with what we did last year,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cSo, we\u2019re going right back to what we did last year, and hopefully, we can transfer it to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHopefully, we can unload fast and get in the redraw every race. That\u2019s really it. If you don\u2019t make the redraw down there, you\u2019re probably not going to win the race. And that makes it tough. So, you have to qualify good and unload fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have another storybook ending at this year\u2019s DIRTcar Nationals, Williamson knows he\u2019ll have to beat a field containing some of the country’s best Big Block Modified drivers. But as he prepares for the competition, he\u2019s excited to battle against a stout field traveling from as far north as Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYear after year, DIRTcar seems to be making the purses a little bit better and making more of an incentive to go down there,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s going to show. There\u2019s going to be between 40 and 50 cars. It\u2019s pretty crazy to think with the Northeast cars that we\u2019re probably a minimum of 12 hours away, and the ones from Quebec are probably 24 hours away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty crazy to think we\u2019re going to get that many cars when everybody is driving a distance to get there. It shows how loyal the Northeast is for putting on great races for great fans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williamson begins his quest for a second big gator with the Super DIRTcar Series at Volusia Speedway Park during Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, Feb. 14-17. For Tickets, visit DIRTcarNationals.com.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
