Motorsports | Chastain, DeCaire big winners at Desoto Speedway

Chad Chastain and Troy DeCaire took home feature wins from Saturday night's Pro Truck/Winged Sprint Car twin bill at Desoto Speedway.

A nine-truck inversion of the 31-truck field put Cory Bigley of Naples on the pole and Chastain, from Alva, third to start the 50-lap Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Desoto Pro Truck race.

After a lap 20 restart, Blake Haddock went from fourth to second and was closing on Chastain when the caution flew for a crash involving several trucks in turn three.

In the end, Chastain held off a challenge from Haddock and Nick Neri on a late restart and immediately began pulling away. Super Late Model driver and Fast qualifier Nick Neri got by Haddock with three laps left, but ran out of time to catch Chastain.

Neri, Blake Haddock, Monopoli and Cody McDuffie rounded out the top five.

The 30-lap Wing Sprint Car feature was a three-man battle between Troy DeCaire, Mickey Kempgens and Shane Butler.

Kempgens briefly pulled away on a restart and was able to hold off several challenges from DeCaire. With three laps left, DeCaire used lapped traffic to dive past Kempgens for the lead.

DeCaire went the rest of the way unchallenged to claim the victory, which he dedicated to his mother. Earlier Saturday, Sandi DeCaire lost her long battle with cancer.
