Daryn Pittman had a score to settle at Wilmot Speedway in Wisconsin on Friday night. After leading a majority of the race in the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series inaugural visit to the track in 2006, he wound up third after a three-car battle on the last lap sent him spinning backwards across the finish line. He picked up that win which eluded him two years ago, on Friday night as he led 32 of the 40 laps to earn his third A-Feature win of the season.
The native of Owasso, Oklahoma pocketed $10,000 for the 28th win of his Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series career, holding off two-time defending series champion Donny Schatz and Jason Meyers for the victory. It was his fourth career win in the state of Wisconsin and first at Wilmot Speedway.
“Wins are tough to get and you hate to give them away and we gave that one away two years ago,” said Pittman. “We were confident coming back in here that we could do it. This
For Pittman, the win was his third of the season, which all have come in the last three weeks, beginning with the 25th Annual Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway where he took home the $50,000 top prize. He also recently moved into the Top-10 in the series standings and is up to ninth overall.
“This is a relief and it’s a lot of fun to get behind the wheel and drive this thing now,” noted the native of Owasso, Oklahoma. “The year started off so bad and we didn’t know what to blame. The bottom line is that I have a great race team behind me, probably one of the best that I have ever had. I have confidence when I show up that the car will perform and that makes a huge difference. It proves that I didn’t forget how to drive one of these things. I am pumped.”
