BARBERVILLE, Fla. — Stewart Friesen held off a hard-charging Peter Britten to win the 30-lap DIRTcar Nationals Super DIRTcar Series opener Tuesday night at Volusia Speedway Park. Britten, in a new Ryder Racing-sponsored Bicknell chassis big-block modified, threw everything he had at Friesen in a mad duel through lapped traffic. “I was trying to get through the lapped cars as quick as I could, but it was tough because it was so slick,” Friesen noted. With 19 laps to go, Britten got under Friesen on restart and drove by the No. Unfortunately for Britten, the pass was nullified as the lap was incomplete. “If I hadn’t gotten that caution and gone out ahead, Friesen was fast but we were right there with him,” Britten said. “We wrecked a car and it’s been a thrash since then,” Britten said.
