Honorable Mentions:
Daryn Pittman:
Owasso, Oklahoma's Daryn Pittman notched his 3rd win of the year with the World of Outlaws when he topped the 30 car field at Devil's Bowl Speedway to claim the "Ted Johnson Memorial". This feat, worth $20,000, was ran in honor of the first ever race for the sprint series, and first at the Mesquite, Texas dirt oval in over a decade. The win for the reigning series champion also gained him the lead for the first time in 2014.

O'Neal is beginning to find success in his first year with the Clint Bowyer owned super late model team, and it all came to fruition this past weekend with the National Dirt Racing League at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS. Don O'Neal started off the weekend with a runner-up on Friday at "The Mag" in The NDRL's $7,500 event and continued on to win the $12,500 finale Saturday night. The win was the Indiana native's 2nd of the season - his first coming in March with LOLMDS.
Gary Tomkins:
The second major big block modified race of the season in the state of New York took place on Saturday at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
