Daniel fends off Meek for SSMS victory at Sabine
Many, La. (Apr. 18, 2025) — The 2024 SSMS points Champion Patrik Daniel charged from fourth to first and never looked back, collecting his third Southern States Modified win of the season in the Day Motorsports Point Series Race 3 during Sabine Speedway’s first race of the year for the division.
The 25-lap main event at the 3/8-mile clay oval opened with an exciting battle between Schultz Fueling Technologies Pole sitter Keith Meek and fourth place starter Patrik Daniel. Daniel seized control early on and began pulling away from the field. By lap 5, Anthony Meek had climbed into third after an intense battle with John Sliney and Corey Oltz. A caution on lap eight erased Daniels advantage and tightened the field up. On the restart, Anthony Meek made a bold move around the outside of Keith Meek to take over second.
Making his first start of the season, Caleb Dillard turned up third while Cody Robbins, winner of the inaugural STSSCR race in 2021, rallied from 10th to fourth which earned him the Hard Charger Award while outside pole sitter John Sliney rounded out the top five.
Richard Mills from Anderson, Tx., took sixth, with Richard Holt of McLeod, Tx., in seventh. Thomas Holt of Atlanta, Tx claimed eighth, while Keith Meek of Pitkin, La, and Corey Oltz of Lake Charles rounded out the top 10.
