Sunshine Nationals at Volusia kick off 2023 campaign for Blair Nothdurft
Blair Nothdurft unloaded his Bargain Barn Motorsports No. 76 Late Model on Thursday afternoon at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Fla.) as the 2023 campaign got underway with the fourth annual Sunshine Nationals.
With 47 World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series entries packed in the pit area for the three-day event, Blair followed up the 15th-fastest lap in his time trial group with a 10th-place finish in his heat. Transferring into a B-Main for another shot at the prelim, Nothdurft recorded a ninth-place outing, ending his night early.
For another $8,000-to-win preliminary feature on Friday, Nothdurft missed a transfer spot by two cars in his heat with a fifth-place finish, relegating him into one of three consolation races. Needing to place third or better to make the show, Blair fell short with a fifth-place finish.
An unfavorable forecast for Saturday’s program forced officials to cancel the Sunshine Nationals finale.
