**Kenny Hoffman Survives Volusia Chaos to Take Round 1** Kenny Hoffman led the decisive final laps at Volusia to claim the opening round, but this feature belonged to Zach Hodl's right foot. The hard charger started buried in 24th and absolutely demolished the field, muscling his way to fourth by the finish with a relentless pace that had everyone else looking in their mirrors. Hodl's charge through traffic was the story — he didn't just move up, he announced himself. Hoffman controlled when it mattered, putting down 21 laps led and keeping his composure through the chaos of a dirt oval where passing opportunities are gold. Jeromy Weigle secured second while Layne Stevens rounded out the podium. The heats ran clean with Rylan Gray, Shae Paulo, Brady King, and Zach Jaynes taking victories. Hodl bounced back from whatever kept him out of the heats by dominating his consolation race and carrying that momentum straight into the feature where he became the night's most impressive machine.
