Point leader Poirier finished fourth and rounding out the top five was Reakes. Swiernik ripped the top to get around his competitors for third and was awarded the Hard Charger of the race. There were times during the Lucas Oil feature when this group was two and three wide. Jason Barney, Sammy Reakes, Jordan Poirier, and Dylan Swiernik kept the crowd entertained by making passes on each other low and high lap after lap. While Donath and Zimbardi were up front, there was a torrid battle in positions three through six. Zimbardi’s podium finish added to his outstanding night of capturing the Riffenburgh Fast Time award and winnning the first E & V Energy heat race. Once he took the lead, Donath led all 25 laps while Zimbardi ran the high groove to cross the finish line in second. Year 1 Edition players have instant access to three ready-to-race cars in their garage (Ariel Nomad Tactical, Audi TT Safari, Volkswagen Beetle Rallycross). On the start, Zimbardi left room on the inside and Donath, who started third, blasted through the opening to take over first position. Local favorite, Jared Zimbardi, drew the Pinnacle Pole to lead the field to the green flag. After doing a wing dance, an excited Donath said, “I’m really happy with the way things are going right now and I have to thank my team for their hard work.” Donath crossed the threshold four car lengths ahead of the field to park his Panther Frameworx in the winner’s circle. Given the high cornering speeds generated by the winged cars, the sport of sprint car racing more or less divided in two directions with the likes of the World of Outlaws, the All Star Circuit of Champions and others running winged sprint cars while other sanctioning bodies, most notably the United States Auto Club, continued focusing on non-winged sprint cars.Shawn Donath has been knocking on victory lane’s door numerous times this season and Friday night at Freedom Motorsports Park the door opened. 1 Sprint The Sprint class is only one vehicle because it is another product of Dirt 5’s fictional world.
Not only did the downforce created by the wings enable cars to carve through corners at faster speeds than their non-winged counterparts, the giant wings mounted above the cockpits provided a “crushable” structure and thus added safety. Appearance-wise, it favors a more fully covered Dune Buggy, or a suped-up crash derby car, both of which give the impression of speed and exact maneuverability.

Although some sprint car drivers had experimented with wings as early as the 1950s, it wasn’t until the 1970s that sprint cars began sprouting wings over their noses and cockpits. There are nearly as many variations of the sprint car as there are dirt tracks and sanctioning bodies: short tracks and miles, power-plants ranging from 305 to 410 cubic inch V8s producing from 450 to nearly 900 horsepower in chassis tipping the scales anywhere from 1375 to 1500 lbs and, most obviously, winged and non-winged sprint cars. More recently, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson have used sprint cars as a stepping stone to NASCAR even as the likes of Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Donnie Schatz, Joey Saldana, Bryan Clauson and Levi Jones have fashioned good (if hard-earned) livings racing World of Outlaws and United States Auto Club sprint cars three, four and five nights a week while their counterparts compete in Canada and South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The sprint car’s iconic roller skate shape hearkens to an era when the likes of Bill Vukovich, Jimmy Bryan and Parnelli Jones scratched and clawed their ways from the short tracks of America to a front-row seat in the Indianapolis 500. Nothing better epitomizes grassroots American racing than a sprint car slinging dirt on one of the scores of ¼, 3/8, ½ and mile dirt ovals dotting the countryside.
