BARBERVILLE, FL- February 17, 2016- The Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds took to the half-mile Volusia Speedway Park Tuesday night for three hot laps sessions in preparation for four nights of racing during DIRTcar Nationals.
Tyler Dippel was the fastest through the three sessions with a lap of 17.432 seconds. Tim Fuller was second fastest overall with a lap of 17.786 seconds. Both drivers made their laps during the first session.
