Takeaways from Night 2 of the 2022 World Series of Stock Car Auto Racing

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Race was the star of the show on Night 2 of the 2022 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at Florida's New Smyrna Speedway.
And Matt Hirschman was the star of the show in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race.
The 39-year-old from Northampton, Pennsylvania, won the Mayhew Tools Dominator Pole Award on Saturday night at the half-mile paved oval, and that starting position combined with a slick pit strategy led to Hirschman's win in the first Modified Tour race at New Smyrna.
"This being the first time the Whelen Modifieds are here, it just means a lot," Hirschman told FloRacing in Victory Lane. "Of all the things we've done with this team -- and this is our sixth year -- coming to Florida has been the most enjoyable thing I've done with these guys. You feel like you've made it when you come down here and win a big race."
