MARCH 17, 2024 – – – For the first time since the completion of “Speedweeks,” Daulton Wilson and his #18D JRR Motorsports team hit the track again on Saturday, March 16 at the venerable Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky. The 48th edition of the ‘Spring 50’ was held yesterday at the Cincinnati-area venue and 32 Super Late Model competitors showed up for the $10,000 to win special event.
Daulton stopped the clock tenth quickest overall during Northern Allstars Late Model Dirt Series qualifying prior to grabbing the second transfer spot through his heat race. After rolling off from the outside of the second row in the 50-lap main event, Daulton fought hard for a top five showing in the contest. When the checkers fell over the field; however, the Fayetteville, North Carolina ace found himself in the sixth finishing position behind only victor Ricky Thornton, Jr., Mike Marlar, Josh Rice, Tyler Erb, and Jason Jameson.
