**Joe Howe2 stormed through the field in a masterclass of late-race positioning at Volusia** Joe Howe2 started eighth and simply refused to stay there. In a feature race that saw Jake Sonnentag control the early laps, Joe Howe2 picked his spots with surgical precision, moving through traffic with the kind of patience that doesn't always come naturally on a dirt oval. By the time the checkered waved, he'd climbed seven spots to take the win—a complete reversal from where he lined up. Sonnentag had been the early story, leading fourteen laps and looking like the man to beat through the middle stages. But Joe Howe2 had other plans. The hard charger award tells only part of the story—it's the manner in which he got there that mattered. Shae Paulo and Brent Hagen rounded out the podium, solid runners without ever threatening the top spot once Joe Howe2 found his rhythm. Pole sitter Jeromy Weigle had pace early as a heat winner but couldn't maintain the momentum into the feature.
