Moran Takes Home $22,000 Atomic Payday

ALMA, Ohio — Devin Moran added another flourish to his increasingly superb season, earning a rich $22,000 payday for his flag-to-flag victory in Thursday night’s Castrol FloRacing Night in America-sanctioned Fireball 50 presented by Graphic Creations at Atomic Speedway. But Davenport began closing the gap to Moran as the race entered the closing stages and had just taken the lead on lap 39 with a turn-two slide-job before the race’s final caution appeared to negate the move. But Davenport didn’t have the momentum to attempt to pass Moran entering turn one, and Moran put the slower car between him and his pursuers with an aggressive slidejob the next time through turns three and four. “I really messed up,” Moran said of his early move to the low groove in traffic. Moran took the checkers with a lead of 0.795 seconds over second-place Davenport. Davenport, who was looking for his fourth victory of over $20,000 on the season, bided his time before making his charge to catch and pass Moran on lap 39. He thought he had a shot at getting by Davenport and Moran, but his charge stalled in third.
