Kyle Strickler has four titles he\u2019ll be chasing at Volusia Speedway Park in February and his chances for one of them recently got an unexpected boost.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mooresville, NC driver didn\u2019t plan on running the opening portion of <\/span>DIRTcar\u2019s <\/span>UMP Modified Florida Speedweeks<\/span><\/i> \u2013 a 15-race trek across the \u201cSunshine State\u201d<\/span><\/a> \u2013 this month. But when Jeff Mathews couldn\u2019t compete during the fourth race of the stretch at Ocala Speedway, Strickler jumped in his car.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He originally traveled south to assist former NASCAR Truck Series driver Austin Wayne Self in preparing for Ocala. Then, he found himself in Mathews\u2019 No. 33 Elite Chassis, winning that night. And he didn\u2019t stop there. Strickler drove Mathews\u2019 backup car the next two nights, scoring a podium finish the first night but then suffering a DNF the last.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was kind of unexpected because we went to help Austin Wayne Self for practice on Wednesday,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cJeff wasn\u2019t able to make it, so I jumped in the car which was very similar because he runs Elite cars. We made a few adjustments and picked up the win on Thursday, then drove his backup on Friday and Saturday when he showed up (to Ocala). I thought we were gonna be decent (on Saturday), but we broke a left axle toward the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe left Ocala and drove back home in North Carolina, so we\u2019re getting all my stuff ready to bring the Late Model and Modified down to Volusia. We\u2019ll run the whole thing, so the first few days at the start, all the next week, and then stick around for all of Late Model week.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With some extra <\/span>Speedweek<\/span><\/i> points in his back pocket, Strickler enters the <\/span>54th Annual Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals <\/span><\/i>set to chase another <\/span>Speedweek title<\/span><\/i>, the DIRTcar UMP Modified Gator Championship, the DIRTcar UMP Modified Big Gator title, and the Super Late Model Big Gator title. The latter is still on his list of trophies to secure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strickler has amassed 17 victories at Volusia \u2013\u202f14 during <\/span>DIRTcar Nationals<\/span><\/i> with the UMP Modifieds (second-most all-time), two with the World of Outlaws Late Models, and one from the <\/span>Emil and Dale Reutimann Memorial<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He earned his first Big Gator trophy in 2023 with the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoy going to Volusia,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the places where if you know how to get around it and know the track surface, you can have a lot of success there. I remember going there years ago and struggling, but really wanting to do well there. We finally got to the point where it became one of my favorite places to go, and I really enjoy all three weeks. Anytime they race at Volusia, I try to get down and make it there.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe got a really good package, it fits my driving style, and the track surface is ever-changing, similar to (Ocala Speedway). It seems like a lot of the Florida racetracks now get extremely slick in the middle, with grip on the top or the bottom it seems. It makes for a really technical racetrack where you have to use your head as a driver, so I feel it fits me really well.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One change that helped him adapt to the track more was when a new load of clay was placed on the track in 2022. It turned the \u201cWorld\u2019s Fastest Half Mile\u201d from a flat-out track to a more technical one, according to Strickler.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVolusia used to be a motor killer,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cIt would be a heavy, hammer down all the time track, and it would never really slick up. The last couple of years, it seems like it\u2019s a really fast East Bay and it\u2019s way more technical than it used to be. I feel like that makes it way different than anywhere else in the country. They don\u2019t have grip in the areas you know like the cushion, or sometimes it\u2019s a mud ringer on the bottom and it\u2019s such a huge difference. Between the track conditions making it so fast, it can be super slick and slow throughout the night.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe track surface is completely opposite end of the spectrum at the same time, on the same racetrack. You don\u2019t usually see that, so it\u2019s really about adjusting the car to keep up with the track\u2019s changing conditions. It\u2019ll change lap to lap so that makes it extremely technical and even more challenging.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strickler, Nick Hoffman, Kyle Bronson, and Ryan Gustin are among four drivers who have won a <\/span>DIRTcar Nationals<\/span><\/i> Gator trophy in both a UMP Modified and Super Late Model.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing the challenge of switching from a Modified to a Late Model since 2020, the transition has become seamless for the \u201cHigh Side Tickler\u201d with the added perks of driving a Late Model compared to a UMP Modified.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easier for the Mod guys to get into the Late Model there because you have so much grip and good information with the manufacturers and shock companies,\u201d Strickler said. \u201cThe Modified is a lot more driver dependent, so it definitely helps to have laps all week leading up to the Late Model because once I\u2019m in it, you\u2019re going faster, and the Late Models drive like a Cadillac. You have better brakes, and way more grip, so everything gets multiplied.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRacing Modifieds in the previous week to lead up to the Late Model helps switch the focus over and kind of get acquainted with where you need to be for the time spent there. I feel it’s harder going from the Late Model to the Modified because you\u2019re expecting things from a Modified that you get in a Late Model that aren\u2019t there. It\u2019s nicer to prepare with the Modified for Volusia than with a Late Model first.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strickler goes after his second <\/span>DIRTcar UMP Modified Florida Speedweeks<\/span><\/i> and Big Gator title at the <\/span>Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals<\/span><\/i>, Jan. 29-Feb. 8. Then he\u2019ll compete with the DIRTcar Late Models and World of Outlaws Late Models, Feb. 10-15.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
