Crunch time as round four kicked off Thursday at the Winter Nationals at Auburndale Speedway and some new and old faces have found their way into victory lane, with all LJ Dezigns Pole Award winners capturing their respective feature victories.

Starting off with the Young Lions Division, Matthew Laprade got his third victory. For 25 laps, Laprade controlled the track, but Ben Morabito was not making it easy for him. Morabito and Laprade were racing side by side while the rest of the field were trying to catch up. After a caution flag came out that shortened the field, Laprade jumped out to a couple of car lengths ahead of Morabito, took the inside lane, and held on to the lead and went into victory lane.

From the very first lap, Faulkner jumped out to the front and held the first-place position while Mitch Wright and Chase Burgeson were right behind him gunning for second place. While Wright and Burgeson were going back and forth, Neal Dulin slowly crept his way up from the middle of the pack and with ten laps left in the race he overtook Burgeson for third place. As the laps clicked away, Faulkner continued to hold off Wright and parked his Legend Car in Auburndale Speedway victory lane.

After an accident in the Masters Division that unfortunately several cars to the pits early, Brandin Wrisley cruised his way into Victory Lane. From the jump, Wrisley shot out to the lead but not by much, as Lee Jordan was right behind him. While Jordan was trying to take the lead from Wrisley, he had Foisy on his tail looking to take second away from him. Lee would prevail but couldn’t seal the deal against Wrisley, who from Lap 11 to the checkered flag, continued to hold off Jordan for Thursday's win.

The Pro Division lived up to their name, as the race went green to checkered with pole sitter Joel Smith leading the way straight through. While battles for second on back took place, Smith cruised to his second victory of the week.

Maverick Bradshaw has continued to domination in the Beginner Bandolero Division. Bradshaw picked up his fourth win Thursday but not without some opposition from Jacob Hassey, who stayed on Bradshaw’s bumper throughout the race. At one point was racing side by side with Bradshaw, but couldn’t find a way around him to prevent Bradshaw from capturing his fourth win of the week.

Landon Thrasher secured another Outlaws victory. From pole position, he took control of the race early and besides a caution flag that shorted the field, While Wyatt Coffey, Harley Johnson and Bentley Thompson battled for second, Thrasher held on to his comfortable lead throughout the race, including after restarts, ending with a second trip to Auburndale victory lane.

Qualifying first earlier in the day, Brexton Busch also took first place in the Bandits Division, with a fourth win in as many features this week. For 20 laps Busch took over and led his division. He had a sizable lead for a good majority of the race until the last couple of laps were Gerald White III caught up and turned it into a side-by-side battle for the lead. On the very last lap coming in from turn 2, White and Busch sprinted down the track beside each other with Brexton taking home the Victory with White half a car length behind him, in what was the biggest challenge for the victory for Busch this week.

The Chargers Division race ended early, completing only 12 laps due to a plethora of cautions and red flags. Bryson Carlbert was chased by first Rhylee Hutchins and later Sadie Parson, but neither could find a way around Carlbert’s Legend Car. It is the fourth different winner through four features this week.

With one round to go, Danny Chisholm holds a comfortable lead of 17 and 18 points over Jackson Lewis and Jensen Jorgensen, respectively. Dylan Faulkner leads the Semi-Pro Division points by just eight points over Chase VanHouten. In the Masters Division, Brandin Wrisley holds a commanding 25-point lead over Kevin Foisy and 29-point lead over Jim Sylvester. Ben Morabito has a 15-point and 19-point advantage over Matthew Laprade and Jayden Johnson, respectively. Brexton Busch has a commanding 21-point lead over Gerald White III, with Evan Johnson 24 ponits behind. The tighest championship race is between Landon Thrasher and Wyatt Coffey, with Thrasher having a six-point advantage.
