Cole Falloway dominated the DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, securing his second consecutive Gator trophy in the UMP Modified division Saturday night.

The Owensboro, Kentucky native led all 25 laps of the Feature race, outpacing a competitive field while building a commanding five-second lead by the checkered flag. Starting from second position, Falloway quickly claimed the top spot with a high-line move through Turns 1 and 2, similar to his winning strategy from Friday night.

Kyle Strickler finished second, marking his third consecutive podium finish at Volusia. Will Krup secured third place, while early contender Curt Spalding recovered to finish fourth after falling back in the early stages. David Stremme rounded out the top five, maintaining his streak of top-five finishes.

Key race developments included:

• Trevor Neville's chances ended with a spin on Lap 10 while running in podium position
• A late caution on Lap 18 bunched the field, but Falloway maintained control
• Strickler overtook Krup for second on the final restart

"A lot of it was me getting comfortable," Falloway said post-race. "The more laps I get to make, the more comfortable I continue to get with this place."

The DIRTcar UMP Modifieds return Monday for the start of the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals Big Gator Championship, featuring six Feature races.
