BARBERVILLE, Fla. — After a night of World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series practice at Volusia Speedway Park, an unexpected name found himself at the top of the speed charts. Will Roland had never raced at “The World’s Fastest Half-Mile” before Sunshine Nationals practice Wednesday night. Roland was one of 10 drivers to beat the 2006 World of Outlaws Late Models champion’s time. The Jasper, Ga., driver said he’s more confident about the weekend, but knows a good practice time only takes him so far. Two-time Volusia Speedway Park winner Kyle Strickler was second fastest with a 15.453-second lap. The Gray Court, S.C., competitor, who ran a 15.466 second lap, said he’s looking forward to the weekend as he aims for his third Volusia victory. “It feels really, really good for sure,” Cooney said.
