Challenge Met! 3 more champions crowned, Enduro a hit! AZN hijacks the Power Wheels race!

Challenge Met! 3 more champions crowned, Enduro a hit! AZN hijacks the Power Wheels race!

This past weekend was bittersweet as the season points racing crossed the finish line for 2025. On a night with the Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds were the headline they lived up to the calling card. Logan’s Lawn and Landscape stepped up and added $1000 to the pole-sitter if they would drop to the 6th spot and still win. Hollywood Tyler Davis by accumulating the most points in the heat races had the opportunity and took the Challenge. “Once hated” Dan Powers was not going to make it easy as he set a blistering pace on the high-line keeping Paden Phillips and Tyler Davis at bay for most of the race. A late yellow shuffled the deck a bit and Davis pounced at his chance sliding past Paden in turn 1, Dan looked poised and was not rattled by the Early runs Tyler made. With just two to go Davis made his move sliding Powers in 3-4 while Dan crossed him and repaid the slider favor in 1-2 ! The race was great one as the two went down the back stretch on the last lap Dan leading and Tyler backed up his entry and throttled the 65 to the bottom and sliding Dan with little room for error and taking a last lap victory and the extra $1000 ! Great job to all the drivers this season! Tyler also capped off his Wichita Tire and Alignment $5000 points championship for the season!
*Wickham Heating and Air Conditioning Mini Stocks started the evening off with a make-up A feature from the rain on 9/20. Pole sitting Karson Keeler took no time to show that his program had some things working in the right direction at the end of the season by never looking back and sailing to Oreilly winners circle. Andy Smith who has really showed some speed late this season also had a great run and nabbed the Silver taking home 2nd, taking home 3rd was our 2025 Mini stock Point Champion Justin Esparza!!! He put together a great season performance and deserved to take the crown!!
*The TM Fencing LLC Super Stocks Rain redo feature from 9/20 was second out on the speedway. Front row starting Kenny Sweet jumped out into battle with Jarrod Reimer on lap one, Kenny waved by-by to the field as he took his 5th victory of the season. Jerrod Reimer battled with multiple challengers but still held on for 2nd. Jerrod Reimer is your 2025 TM Fencing LLC Super Stock Track Champion!! He battled some gremlins for many weeks and somehow had just enough in the points to hold and goes back-to-back holding the golden eagle trophy at this upcoming season banquet.
*In what may be the funnest race each season a HUGE shoutout to Broadway Truck and Auto for all the hard work, and headlining the event! From the rocky start getting things rolling, things shaped up and the race got going. The action is literally all over the track and makes it so fun to try and keep up with it all. I challenge all of you that think it is silly, or dumb to give it a shot and come out and be a part of it all. Thank you FarmTruck and AZN who have become good friends to the speedway over the years and we look forward to their future interactions as well! After the 83 of Shipman took out to an early lead it just didn’t last long as he’d hoped as an engine expired. The Flynn Hapy entry looked to be the victor until he succumbed to a flat with just a few laps to go, that left the 35 car of Todd Deringer that was consistent all race to take home the win! Congrats to them as we all look to the spring Godfather enduro in 2026.
*When the RWYB Power Wheels headed out they were joined by AZN and Farmtruck, AZN somehow had his power wheels in reverse and headed the wrong way! What a great event and loads of fun!

Appreciate all of the sponsors , support, help, fans, drivers and crews for everything so far this year. We are far from done as October ushers in World of outlaw Late models next week, and WOO Sprint cars and the Spooktacular later this month! Let’s go!!

Tyler Davis back to winning ways. Conkwright and Dale visit victory lane during Kansas Honor Flight Night.

Erick Chesterman - PARK CITY, Kan. (May 21, 2022) It was Kanas Honor Flight night at 81 Speedway for the URSS vs. OCRS “Civil War” special event joined by weekly racing series action for the Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds, HeyGlassman.com Stock Cars, and JLR Property Management Rookie Modifieds.

In what has become a common theme during Alternative Pest Management USRA Modified action during the first two months of 2022, Tyler Davis and Tad Davis once again fought each other for the win on Saturday night. In what literally became a head-to-head battle with both drivers drawing front row starting spots, Tyler grabbed the early lead at the drop of the green.

Tad hunted for a way around the No. 65 finally taking over the lead on lap nine. Two laps later Tyler found another lane through the middle of the track to re-take the lead. The No. 65 stretched his advantage to 2.5 seconds before a caution with three to go forced a reset.

On the restart Tad raced to the inside off turn two. Side by side heading back into turn three, Tyler dove hard into the corner to take the lead for good.

Tad settled for second at the line with Brendon Gemmill, Cody Schniepp and Bryce schniepp completing the top five. Kyler Kemp, Tyler, and Tad each grabbed heat race wins.

Not to be outdone, the HeyGlassman.com Stock Cars put on another barn burner of a show. Brandon Conkwright and Kenny Ziegler thrilled the crowd battling door to door for multiple laps, making contact in the process, while racing for the lead.

At the checkers Conkwright got the better of Ziegler while Greg Schell, Chris Holle and Clint Smith completed the top 5. Holle, Ziegler and Scott Lehman each recorded heat race wins.

JLR Property Management Rookie Modified driver Dakota Dale put his bad luck behind him and picked up his first feature win of 2022. Dale led wire to wire, but it wasn’t without challenges late from both Wyatt Gaggero and Frederick Freeman.

At the checkers Freeman had to settle for second, while Chevy Coleman, Wyatt Gaggero, and KC Mullin made up the top five. Gaggero, Coleman, and Dale all claimed heat race wins.

81 Speedway takes the week off on Saturday, May 28th. Racing returns on June 4th with the Titans B-Mod Series headlining the show. Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds, AutoTech Service Super Stocks, Primal Jerky Mini Stocks, and Midwest Wrap Co. IMCA Mod Lites join them for weekly racing series action.

Davis takes 10 from Texas

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 23:05:18 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., notched his first victory with the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt on Saturday, leading all but one lap of the 50-lap main event and pocketing $10,000 in the 12th Annual Texas Spring Nationals finale.

Starting on the outside of the front row, Davis paced the opening lap but Jacob Bleess snuck by to lead the second lap. Undaunted, Davis battled back to lead the third and every other lap en route to the checkered flag, but it wasn’t without pressure.

Early on it was Dereck Ramirez and Tanner Mullens putting the heat on Davis but as the laps clicked off it was Jason Hughes looking for vindication for his runner-up finish 24 hours earlier.

Using a provisional starting spot, Hughes rolled off 25th and by lap 33 he was fourth. He blasted by Mullens and Ramirez with four laps to go and then chased Davis to the finish line, coming up just short for the second straight night.

For Davis, however, we was visibly the smoothest in the corners and never made a mistake to open the door for his former chassis builder.

“I can’t tell you guys how much diesel fuel I’ve wasted going up and down these roads and coming home short every time with an excuse or ‘faded late’ or whatever,” the elated winner revealed in victory lane. “To be honest I started to doubt if I should quit doing this shit so, man this is unbelievable.”

“I got to give a big shout out to my wife and daughter at home, and J.R. Sartain who let me start my own race team again. If it wasn't for him. I wouldn’t be here. I couldn’t afford to come here. There’s so many people who’ve given so much for me to even be able to come out on these roads, and it dates back to people who first started helping me. You know, I don't even know what to say.:

Just two laps slowed the pace during the first half of the race, but a rash of six yellow flags during the final 12 laps kept the leaders close and the lapped traffic out of play.

“I wanted the lapped cars every time the yellow came out,” Davis said. “I thought ‘Man, here comes the slide job’ and I finally figured out how to get through the hole and maintain it. I seen that white flag and I couldn’t believe it.

“You know I think it was Jason Hughes that rolled up beside me there and he’s taught me a lot. He builds a great race car and I ran him for a long time so I’ve got to give a big thanks to him, his whole crew and everybody. He taught me a lot of how to race out here on the road.”

Ramirez wasn’t far behind and crossed beneath the checkered flag in third but was disqualified after the race when his machine failed to make the minimum weight.

Originally fourth, Rodney Sanders was credited with third, Terry Phillips took the fourth spot and Mullens rounded out the top five.

Darron Fuqua, 20th-starting Carlos Ahumada Jr., Friday’s winner Dustin Sorensen, Dan Ebert and Kale Westover, who started 24th, completed the top 10.

It was the second straight night that Westover passed 14 cars in the main event to take home the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award. He started 22nd and finished 8th on Friday.

With two races in the books, Hughes will bolt on the Wrisco Points Leader spoiler for the next race. He leads Davis by six points (193 to 187). Sanders sits third with 182 markers followed by Sorensen (177), Mullens (171), Phillips (168), Westover (148), Ahumada (146), Tyler Wolff (142) and Jason Good (138).

King of America XI set for March 24-26: Summit King of America XI presented by RacinDirt returns to the Humboldt Speedway on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 24-26.

Saturday’s finale will see a top prize of $15,000 for the USMTS Modifieds while the Thursday feature race pays $3,000 and $5,000 goes to Friday's preliminary main event winner.

USRA B-Mods race for $1,000 to win Thursday and Friday and then a $10,000 paycheck awaits the main event winner on Saturday.

Medieval USRA Stock Cars also compete all three nights, racing for $750 to win Thursday and $1,000 to win Friday before battling for a $1,500 top prize on Saturday.

O’Neil nabs tenth in 2021

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s capped a memorable 2021 season with a thriller at the 81 Speedway on Saturday night that saw Jake O’Neil spook the field for his tenth win of the campaign while Dereck Ramirez secured his first USMTS national title.

As he has done in several of his victories, O’Neil had to fight his way past the best dirt modified racers on the planet after he found himself starting deep in the main event field from the inside of the seventh row.

At the front of the 26-car starting grid, two-time USRA Modified national champ Lucas Schott got the jump on polesitter Tyler Davis and led his first laps of the season. Davis kept Schott in his sights until lap 12 when his hood flew up and into his vision, causing the race’s third caution.

Schott continued to lead the early stages with four-time USMTS national champ Jason Hughes, multi-time World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion Brandon Sheppard, Ramirez, Terry Phillips, Tanner Mullens and O’Neil gave chase.

At the halfway point, O’Neil had already passed nine cars to claim the fourth spot, but Schott continued his strong run at the front of the pack until the yellow flag waved for the fifth time when Rodney Sanders smacked the front-stretch wall just below the flagstand.

Back under green, Schott slipped high in the first corner and that allowed Phillips and Hughes to race bay with Phillips having the advantage as they completed lap 29.

The field began to settle back in with Phillips fending off a strong challenge from Hughes before O’Neil raced into second place with eight laps remaining. Five laps later, O’Neil was underneath Phillips and when the white flag waved it was O’Neil in front.

One lap later, O’Neil—who cashed a $21,000 check one week earlier at the Rancho Milagro USRA Fall Nationals at the Vado Speedway Park—earned a check for $10,030 for his effort in the 2nd Annual USMTS Modified Spook-tacular presented by Kansasland Tire & Service.

“We don’t give up ever,” O’Neil said after explaining that we wasn’t too confident in his chances coming into the 40-lapper. “You never know what’s gonna happen. I thought we had a good car but Jason, Terry, Lucas… everybody was fast up there. I didn’t think we had a chance.

“That last restart there I just went balls out, really.”

With three of the four events this weekend canceled due to rain, O’Neil knew coming in that one mountain was too high to climb as Ramirez had the 2021 USMTS national championship wrapped up when he signed in for Saturday’s race.

Ramirez wound up sixth in the final rundown while Phillips, Hughes, Mullens and Sheppard willed the remaining spots in the top five. Schott fell to seventh, Dustin Sorensen was eighth Tyler Wolff rebounded from a flat tire early in the race and Davis fought his way back to tenth after his mid-race hood issues.

In the final standings, Ramirez wound up 42 points in front of O’Neil (2666 to 2624) while last year’s Grant Junghans Rookie of the Year Award winner Mullens came home third with 2539 markers. Sanders finished fourth with 2511 points, followed by Schott (2362), Sorensen (2337), Wolff (2312), Hughes (2182), Dan Ebert (2136) and Phillips (2059).

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s featured 31 nights of racing during the 2021 campaign with the winners of those events taking home more than $250,000. Watch for announcements coming soon regarding the USMTS awards banquet and 2022 season opener.

Sorensen, Thornton, Jackson repeat in Friday Summit USRA Nationals features at Lucas Oil Speedway

Sorensen, Thornton, Jackson repeat in Friday Summit USRA Nationals features at Lucas Oil Speedway

Wolff gets Modified win, Sorensen secures second straight: The USRA Modifieds were the final class to tackle the 3/8-mile dirt oval with another pair of $500-to-win, 20-lap preliminary features.

In the first contest, Tyler Davis held off Tyler Wolff for nine laps before succumbing to the pressure from the Fayetteville, Ark., speedster. While Wolff garnered his first USRA Modified victory of 2021, he also pocketed $40 for his four previous starts in the division.

“I was pretty good,” Wolff said. “I kind of picked my way through there. I got into the lapped traffic and wasn’t sure where everybody was at, but we held onto the feature win, which was awesome.”

Davis kept Wolff close but crossed the finish line second. Rodney Sanders, who launched from 15th on the starting grid, took third with Brandon Givens and Kale Westover rounding out the top five.

Tyler Wolff won the first of two USRA Modified main events.

The second feature saw Dustin Sorensen of Rochester, Minn., squirt past Dean Wille just past the halfway point and then roll to his second triumph in as many nights and another $700 addition to his bank account.

“This car is awesome to drive. I couldn’t really ask for anything better,” Sorensen said. “Hopefully they give us a good race track tomorrow. We’ve got some speed and I’m excited.”

Dustin Sorensen won the second of two USRA Modified main events.

Cory Crapser came from sixth to get second, ninth-starting Tanner Mullens was third, Darron Fuqua advanced from eighth to fourth and Wille held strong to claim the final spot among the top five finishers.

Racers rewards program: While each "A" main winner on Thursday and Friday earned an extra $10 for every start this year in a Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series event, the name of one driver in each class was randomly selected during the driver’s meeting prior to heat race action to receive a $10 bonus for every USRA-sanctioned start as well.

Tonight, those winners were Tanner Mullens in the USRA Modifieds ($80), Dylan Suhr in the Medieval USRA Stock Cars ($330), Zach Brom in the USRA B-Mods ($220), Josh Froseth in the Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stocks ($160) and Tayla Lange in the USRA Tuners ($110).

On Thursday and Friday, competitors drew for heat race starting spots and earned points using the USRA passing points system. Combined points earned those first two nights will determine lineups for Saturday's races. The USRA Tuners will have another complete show on Saturday.

Race time Saturday is 6 p.m. with a jam-packed show of last-chance qualifying races and five explosive championship main events.

If you can't be there in person, RacinDirt has you covered with live coverage of every lap of every race in every division. Check out RacinDirt.TV or download the RacinDirt app for your phone, computer or television. Available on iTunes, AndroidTV, ROKU, fireTV, AppleTV and Google Play Store.

O’Neil chalks up 18th USMTS win Wednesday at 81 Speedway

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 13:40:28 GMT

It was a good night for Jake O’Neil at the 81 Speedway Wednesday as the driver from Tucson, Ariz., collected his eighth main event victory of the 2021 campaign and padded his points lead in the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s.

It was a good night for the fans in attendance at the Park City, Kan., dirt oval—as well as those watching from afar on RacinDirt.com. They witnessed a stellar 40-lap main event with six lead changes among three drivers during the feature race of the inaugural USMTS Keeper of the Plains powered by T-Mobile.

Sybesma Graphics Pole Award winner Jake Timm paced the first quarter of the race before hometown racer Tanner Mullens grabbed the spot for a couple of laps following a caution on lap eight for a broken front end on the machine of Terry Phillips who was part of the three-car tussle for the top spot..

Mullens handed the lead back to Timm, who led four circuits until Mullens regained control on lap 17 with O'Neil and Rodney Sanders in two as the top four began to inch away from the rest of the pack.

Meanwhile, ninth-starting O’Neil entered the fray and wrestled the top spot away from Mullens with 24 laps in the books, but Mullens used an assist from a lapped car to steal the lead away from O’Neil when the leader bobbled on the 28th lap.

With O'Neil sneaking underneath with two laps to go, Mullens was forced to take the high line around the 3/8-mile oval. He beat O'Neil to the white flag by a nose but the final lap saw O'Neil pull away for a $5,000 payday and his 18th career USMTS triumph.

Mullens and Timm held on for second and third while four-time USMTS national champ Rodney Sanders finished fifth to keep his title hopes alive. Lucas Schott, Dustin Sorensen, Brooks Strength, Tyler Wolff, Darron Fuqua and Dillon McCowan rounded out the top 10.

O’Neil’s closest competitor for the USMTS points crown, Dereck Ramirez was forced to use a provisional starting spot to take the green flag in the feature. He rolled off 23rd on the gird and was the 11th driver to see the checkered flag.

Barring any rain-outs or other unforeseen circumstances, just nine points nights remain, and three of them take place over the next 72 hours beginning Thursday Sept. 9, at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, for another $5,000-to-win show.

The pits open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30 and hot laps begin at 7:30. Once hot laps are complete, racing will get underway following the National Anthem. USRA Limited Mods ($700 to win), Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks ($700 to win) and USRA Tuners ($200 to win) will also be in competition.

The weekend’s four-headed monster continues Friday at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., and concludes Saturday with the series debut at Dylan Scott’s Revolution Park (The Rev) in Monroe, La. Both programs will award $10,000 to the main event winner.

Taking dirt to a new level: The 2021 campaign for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s features 36 nights of racing with the winners of those main events set to take home over $300,000 in earnings from more than $1 million in prize money earmarked for those shows.

Most main events will pay at least $10,000 to win while the others carry a minimum $5,000 top prize. And if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

Thu, 06 May 2021 21:38:18 GMT

Davis outduels Traugott & Mullens, Chambers stays hot, Dale & Esparza snag firsts of year.

It was a modified race fans paradise to kick off the month of May at 81 Speedway. The Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifies and Chunky Poodle USRA B-Mods along with the Two M Motorsports and Machine Rookie Modifieds and the Primal Beef Jerky Mini Stocks all did battle on Saturday night. Tyler Davis and Jeremy Chambers both continued their current hot streaks early in 2021, while Dakota Dale and Aaron Esparza each picked up their first wins on the season.

In what has become a consistent theme for the Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds, it was another barnburner atop the 3/8ths mile Park City, KS oval. Reeling off his second victory and fourth straight top five in Summit Racing Equipment USRA Weekly racing series action, Tyler Davis out dueled Cole Traugott and Tanner Mullens for the win.

From the drop of the green, Traugott consistently challenged Davis, an early lap five caution not deterring either driver once racing got back underway. Reaching traffic on lap thirteen, Davis quickly navigated through the back markers, slowly inching away from Traugott.

After missing his heat race earlier in the night and transferring in from the B-feature, 16th starting Tanner Mullens picked his way through the field finding himself third with six to go. Forced to contend with the late charging Mullens, Traugott battled to hold the No. 02 machine at bay. Mullens won that battle with two laps to go but settled for second while Davis charged under the checkers for the win.

Traugott finished third ending his night on a positive note, taking the points lead away from Cody Schniepp. Bryce Schniepp turned in his best result on the year finishing fourth, and Scott Green completed the top 5. The B-feature win on the evening went to Kenny Sweet and heat race wins went to Bryce Schniepp, Ryan McAninch, and Tyler Davis.

In Chunky Poodle USRA B-Mod action, Jeremy Chambers kept his hot streak alive, picking up his second win at 81 Speedway and fourth overall on the year. Chambers battled early with Matthew Crowell, taking the lead on lap five. Fifth starting Brian McGowen gave chase, taking over the second spot from Crowell on lap 11. McGowen then searched every possible racing line around the speedway trying to track down the No. B52 machine. For the third time this year, once at Humboldt and twice at 81, McGowen finished runner up to Chambers when the checker flag fell. Crowell finished third, Randy Wilson fourth, and pole-sitter Alex Wiens completed the top 5. Wiens, Wilson, and McGowen picked up the three heat race wins.

The Two M Motorsports and Machine Rookie Modifieds nearly ran green to checker, just on caution flag slowing down the field of up-and-coming drivers. Valley Center’s Dakota Dale flexed his muscle leading the event wire to wire. Another Valley Center native, Chas Klinkner, had an impressive run, keeping Dale within striking distance for most of the event before a late race tussle over second with Wichita’s Brett Davis. Davis won that battle, Klinkner finished third, John Cohoon finished fourth, and Jeremy Sigler completed the top 5. Dillon Moler, Dakota Dale, and Jim Roney each picked up heat race wins.

In a night full of open wheel modified racing, the Primal Beef Jerky Mini Stocks put on a show of their own. After both picked up heat race wins earlier in the night, Aaron Esparza led wire to wire in an entertaining nose to tail affair with defending champion Korey Bice for the entire 10 lap distance. Brett Barber, Colten Kelley and Addison Petty made up the rest of your top 5.

Racing action picks back up next weekend as the Sooner Late Model Series presented by Wichita Tire and Alignment returns for their second of three stops on the year. The Two M Motorsports & Machine Rookie Modifieds, AutoTech Service Center Super Stocks, Heyglassman.com Stock Cars, and Midwest Wrap Co. IMCA Mod Lites also join the show. General Admission tickets are $12, Military and Seniors 65+ are $10, and kids 10 and under are free. Gates open at 5pm, hot laps at 6:15, and racing gets under way at 7!

Tyler Davis won the USRA Modified main event.

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 22:11:01 GMT

USRA Modified thriller goes to Davis

USRA Modified thriller goes to Davis: Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kansas, nipped El Centro, California's Lance Mari in a thrilling finish to take the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win.

Mari charged into contention for the win late after Dillon McCowan, who had pressured the leader most of the way, fell out of contention.

"I knew the slider was coming on the last lap so I just loaded up on entry," Davis said.

Davis, who started second, led all 20 laps but fourth-starting McCowan moved into the runner-up position by lap two.

McCowan used the outside line to pull alongside Davis to challenge for the lead on lap 10 but couldn't quite complete the pass. As those two weaved through lapped traffic and broke away from the field, McCowan continued to give chase until a lap-16 caution.

Over the next lap after the restart, McCowan pulled off with mechanical issues. Davis then had to hold off Lance Mari's charge over the final lap and did so by a half-car-length after Mari's slider in turn four coming to the checkers.

Matt Johnson wound up third with T.J. Tolan coming from 13th to fourth and Darron Fuqua fifth.

USMTS Spring Challenge moves to Hamilton County Speedway this weekend

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 20:31:00 GMT

USMTS Spring Challenge moves to Hamilton County Speedway this weekend

With tons of new dirt sitting soaked and track crews unable to properly prepare the racing surface, officials from the 34 Raceway and USMTS have begrudgingly postponed the inaugural USMTS vs UMP Spring Challenge powered by MSD slated for this weekend.

Joint Statement from 34 Raceway and USMTS:

“Having watched several Midwestern racing surfaces fall apart over the past two weeks, the USMTS and 34 Raceway feel it’s best to postpone our event until the fall,” said Jessi Mynatt, who operates the West Burlington, Iowa, facility with her partner Brad Stevens. “We want to give the fans and drivers a good show and do not feel our track is in the condition to do so at this time.

“Every racetrack is different in drainage and drying time, and ours is still very wet—last week's rain did not help. We have not yet had any cars on the track and do not feel that having one hundred-plus cars from all over the U.S. on it in just four days is the best way to test the new dirt out. Junking equipment and putting drivers at risk is not acceptable to USMTS or 34 Raceway.”

With many teams traveling into Iowa for the event, along with hungry race fans starving for the aroma of burning fuel and the sights of the world’s best dirt modified drivers in combat, USMTS promoter Todd Staley has announced that the event will still take place… about three hours north at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa.

Billed as a clash between the two most powerful empires in the dirt modified universe, the inaugural USMTS vs UMP event will likely take place this fall, but UMP racers are still invited to come race at the historic Hamilton County Speedway. Competitors can follow the USMTS or UMP rulebook but no mixing of the two sets of rules will be allowed. UMP entries must utilize the hard 60 tire on the right rear, and those running under UMP rules are not eligible for USMTS points.

Former NASCAR racer and on-air personality Kenny Wallace has announced that he will still be making the trip to the Hamilton County Speedway, along with several other high-profile racers from “the other side.”

Set for this Friday and Saturday, April 2-3, most everything—such as times and ticket prices—will remain the same as originally planned. The main event on Friday will pay $5,000 to win and $500 to start while Saturday's big show has a $10,000 top prize up for grabs with a minimum $700 to start the feature race.

A trio of Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series classes will be running both nights with national points on the line for Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stocks.

On both days, the pits will open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5 and qualifying gets underway at 7 p.m.

General admission spectator tickets each day are $25 for adults (17-61) or $20 for seniors (62+) and juniors (12-16). Kids ages 11 and under get in for free. Pit passes are $40 each night or $30 for kids ages 6-10. Children under 6 are admitted for free in the pits.

Racers will get the chance to practice at the historic clay oval on Tuesday, March 30, from 5 p.m. until dark. Pit passes are $20. Admission to the grandstands is free.

Competitors are encouraged to get entered as soon as possible to save themselves some money and save time on race day at the registration headquarters. Go to usmts.com/downloads for USMTS rules, entry forms and more. Call (515) 832-7944 to enter today. Drivers can also pay the early entry price at practice Tuesday.

About the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway: Opening in July 1910, the Hamilton County Speedway is the oldest speedway in the state of Iowa. In 1938, work began on the current location at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. The semi-banked half-mile dirt track was completed in the spring of 1939, and the first races were held on the track in September of that year.

One of the many new improvements to the facility is a new 170-foot-long infield catwalk along the front-stretch. New lights and much more are already finished, underway or in the planning stages.

The Hamilton County Speedway is located off US 20 at exit 140, then 1.2 miles north, then 0.5 mile east on Bank St., then 0.4 mile south on Bluff St. to the Hamilton County Fairgrounds in Webster City, Iowa. The physical address is 1200 Bluff St, Webster City, IA 50595.

The AmericInn by Wyndham is the Official Host Hotel of the Hamilton County Speedway. Located just off the exit from Highway 20 at 411 Closz Drive, check them out online at AmercInn.com or call (515) 337-2611 to book your stay.

Schott, Brown top morning matinee at King of America X

Schott, Brown top morning matinee at King of America X

if the early bird gets the worm, then Lucas Schott and Derek Brown should be able to open a thriving bait shop after giving the top performances during a Saturday morning racing program at the Humboldt Speedway, made possible by Mother Nature’s wrath.

Postponed due to rain, opening night of King America X powered by Summit and Battle at The Bullring VI driven by G-Style Transport on Thursday night was pushed to a morning marathon on Saturday and was completed just a few hours before gates are slated to open for Saturday night’s finale in the evening.

In addition to dual heat race qualifying for the Bullring B-Mod combatants, two of the most popular divisions in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series were on tap with USRA Modifieds and Medieval USRA Stock Cars sharing the post-dawn card.

In USRA Modified action, Schott used lapped traffic to spoil the planned victory party of Tyler Davis. The youngster from Chatfield, Minnesota, picked off Davis late in the feature race and drove away from the field to collect the $2,000 top prize.

Schott also won the most recent USRA Modified main event here last November as part of the four-night Modster Mash. That victory propelled him to his second USRA Modified national championship and put five grand in his pocket. He’ll be seeking a second King of America crown in Saturday night’s USMTS finale.

Davis was able to hold off Rodney Sanders for the runner-up honors with Johnny Scott third, B-Mod graduate Dillon McCowan fourth and Jake Timm finishing fifth. Jacob Bleess, Brooks Strength, Tad Davis and Travis Mosley rounded out the top 10.

Lucas Schott won the USRA Modified main event.

An hour earlier Thursday morning, two-time Lucas Oil Speedway Street Stock track champion Derek Brown of Stoutland, Missouri, notched his first-ever Medieval USRA Stock Car feature win with a dominant performance in front of the biggest names the full-fendered division has to offer.

Polesitter Shawn Ritter chased Brown around the Humboldt Speedway for a few laps but eventually a race-long back-and-forth between himself and Derek Green allowed Brown to set sail unchallenged en route to a $750 paycheck.

Ritter was able to get to the finish line second with Green besting a trio of Decorah, Iowa drivers—Kyle Falck, Kevin Donlan and Mitch Hovden—for the third spot.

Angel Munoz, Thomas Ground, Jaylen Wettengel and Gary Donaldson completed the top 10.

Brown was quick to thank his wife Rachel during his victory lane interview. The pair became parents early last year and their son, Kade, joined mom and dad for the winner’s circle celebration.

The day’s second program begins at 7 p.m. with USMTS Modifieds, B-Mods and Medieval USRA Stock Cars set to do battle.

Strength wears King of America X crown

Strength wears King of America X crown

The first nine crowns were worn by eight of the biggest legends in dirt modified racing history, but Saturday night at the Humboldt Speedway it was Brooks Strength letting the world know that the new kids on the block are the new sheriffs in town as he wired the 60-lap main event at King of America X powered by Summit.

On Friday night it was Carlos Ahumada Jr. scoring his career-first USMTS victory, and Strength made it a sweep for the first-time visitors to victory lane with a dominating performance that paid off to the tune of $20,000 for the 21-year-old from Raymond, Mississippi.

“I’ve got to catch my breath for a minute. I’m speechless,” Strength said after climbing from his No. 444 MB Customs Race Car in victory lane. “You sit there and you prepare for this moment… I don’t even know what to think. It’s like I had tunnel vision out there, I said ‘Golly, are we hot-lapping? What are we doing? What’s going on?’ I’m speechless.”

Signs of his prowess this weekend were evident Friday night when Strength started second in that $5,000-to-win opening night feature race. Just past the halfway mark, Ahumada was the first to get around Strength, and then a few laps later Strength contacted Terry Phillips following the race’s first caution.

“I got bullied a little bit by the 75 and kind of lost my head, went in a little too hot,” Strength said. “You know, I just can’t believe it. Cannot believe it.”

That ended his hopes last night, but Saturday he was as cool as a cucumber in fending off challenges early from 2018 King of America winner Lucas Schott, battling through some heavy lapped traffic and then finally keeping 2014 event champion Rodney Sanders behind him in the closing laps.

Several competitors in the talent-rich field of 28 starters made impressive moves throughout the 60-lapper that saw just two brief cautions, but most could not continue charging the front. Strength, however, was the most consistent of all as he was nearly perfect in hitting his marks through 120 left-handers.

It was a solid effort both nights for Strength after failing to qualify for either main event three weeks ago at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, during the season opener for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s

“We got real discouraged right when we started off—didn’t make either show at Crandall—so kind of went home and regrouped. Cade Dillard… man, he put me right here. Can’t thank him enough.”

Strength is a contender for this year’s Grant Junghans Rookie of the Year title—an award his car builder Dillard won in 2014.

While he never saw the rear bumper of any of his pursuers, several racers put on a whale of a show for the fans behind Strength. Sanders, who started ninth, and 11th-starting Jake O’Neil joined strength on the proverbial podium while Phillips rebounded from what could have been a disastrous near-spin early on to finish fourth and keep a grip on the Wrisco points leader spoiler for another week.

Passing 14 cars en route to a fifth-place finish, Dereck Ramirez was the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award winner for the second night in a row. Defending King of America Ricky Thornton Jr. came from 17th on the gird to get sixth at the checkers with Tanner Mullens, Schott, Casey Skyberg and four-time USMTS national champ Jason Hughes completing the top 10.

Celebrating his 49th birthday on Saturday, Skyberg got a gift to remember when he drew the Sybesma Graphics Pole for the main event which paid no less than $1,000 to all starters.

A field of 92 competitors took part in King of America X powered by Summit, which was 92 more than last year’s event that was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. King of America XI is planned for the third week of March 2022.

USMTS vs UMP at 34 Raceway: Competitors from the two most powerful empires in the dirt modified universe will come together Friday and Saturday, April 2-3, to battle at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, during the inaugural USMTS vs UMP Spring Challenge powered by MSD.

This will be the first-ever visit to the 34 Raceway by the touring titans of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s. Friday's main event will pay $5,000 to win and $500 to start, Saturday's finale has a $10,000 top prize up for grabs with a minimum $700 to start the feature race.

A trio of support classes will also compete both nights. Stock Cars and Sport/B-Mods race for $500 to win while Tuners/Sport Compacts battle for $200 to win each night.

Tickets can be purchased at the track on race day or in advance online at myracepass.com/tickets. As always, those unable to attend the event can catch every moment live as it happens with a subscription to racindirt.tv.

The 34 Raceway is a semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval located 5.6 miles west of Highway 61 on Highway 34, and then three blocks north at 10463 S Prairie Grove Rd, West Burlington, IA 52655. For more information, call (319) 752-3434 or visit 34raceway.com.

As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

Ahumada gets first USMTS win on first night of King of America X

Ahumada gets first USMTS win on first night of King of America X

It’s a long way from El Paso, Texas, to Humboldt, Kansas—about 860 miles to be exact—but the road from his first start to his first USMTS win Friday night was a lot longer for Carlos Ahumada Jr.

But, hey, the drive from his home to ‘the Hummer’ didn’t pay $5,000 to win either.

Shortly after midnight Friday, Ahumada pulled into victory lane to celebrate his career-first Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s triumph after a thrilling 50-lap main event to kick off King of America X powered by Summit that featured 91 entries.

Ahumada paced the field to the green flag from the Sybesma Graphics Pole Position and led the opening lap but slipped back to second on the second lap when Mississippi’s Brooks Strength muscled his way past the 24-year-old Texan.

Strength, who is seeking the 2021 Grant Junghans Rookie of the Year Award, was solid and smooth during the opening act that lasted 32 laps before the yellow flag made its first appearance. On lap 27, however, Ahumada pulled alongside Strength as the pair zoomed past the flagstand before stealing the lead back with 28 laps in the books.

The lap-32 caution appeared just as the lead group of Ahumada, Strength, Terry Phillips and Ricky Thornton Jr. were contending with a swarm of back-markers. The cause was for ninth-running Jake O’Neil whose engine exploded in a wall of smoke and left him stopped on the racing surface.

When the green flag waved again, the yellow quickly returned as Strength and Phillips traded blows in turns one and two, and then again in turns three and four with both racers spinning in front of the field and Strength tagging the rear of the field for the next restart.

Two more cautions occurred over the final 18 laps, each time wiping out a sizeable lead for Ahumada. With his pursuers searching every line around the track for a way to run down the leader, the 24-dyear-old was flawless as he sailed smoothly around the low groove every time—except the final turn where he missed his mark but had a big enough cushion that it made no difference.

“Yah, it got a little snug,” a smiling Ahumada said about his last turn of the wheel coming to the checkered flag. “I tried to coast it in as easy as I could. I got a little shove and just didn’t go in as deep as I needed to and it shoved on me there at the end. Glad nobody got by me.

“That was the most stressful—I don’t know how laps that was there at the end—that was the most stressful end of a race I’ve ever had. Yellow after yellow, and that second-to-last restart I saw somebody stick their nose underneath me down in (turn) one so I decided to launch a little bit sooner to see if that would work and I guess it did.”

Earlier this month in the season opener at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, it was the low line that he used to track down Terry Phillips late in the race, but that night had to settle for the runner-up paycheck.

“The bottom’s my favorite line. If the bottom’s good you’ll find me down there, that’s for sure. This is a dream come true.”

Phillips played the role of the bridesmaid this time, but his second-place effort was good enough to regain the Wrisco points lead back from Dereck Ramirez, who finished sixth after rolling off from the 23rd starting spot.

Tanner Mullens came on strong at the end, passing three drivers in the final ten laps to finish third while defending series champ Rodney Sanders wound up fourth. Defending King of America winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was fifth, followed by Ramirez, Dan Ebert, Nathan Smith, Zack VanderBeek and Tyler Davis.

In Medieval USRA Stock Car action, Mitch Hovden picked up the win and Tony Bahr opened up Battle at The Bullring VI with a B-Mod feature race victory.

Super Saturday show starts soon: With two complete shows on tap, the fire-breathing Modifieds of the USMTS will share the spotlight with B-Mods, USRA Modifieds and Medieval USRA Stock Cars for a marathon Saturday that will satisfy the horsepower hunger for any diehard race fan.

The morning show starts at 10 a.m. Grandstands open and the pits will be cleared at 8 a.m. Rise ‘n’ shine racing will feature a complete show of USRA Modifieds ($2,000 to win) and Medieval USRA Stock Cars ($750 to win)—both of which were postponed Thursday. B-Mods will duel in dual qualifying heats which were originally slated for Friday.

All those entering the pits Saturday morning must purchase a pit pass for both shows ($80 for those 11 and older, $50 for kids ages 6-10). Pit passes may be purchased for the evening show only, but not until after the morning show is completed. On the spectator side, grandstands will be cleared following the morning show.

Saturday evening’s championship program starts at 7 p.m. Medieval USRA Stock Cars will be racing for $1,200 to win while B-Mods compete in last chance races and the $10,000-to-win finale of Battle at The Bullring VI. Meanwhile, USMTS Modifieds will have a complete show of qualifying heats and feature races with the awarding of a $20,000 paycheck to the winner of King of America X powered by Summit.

Competitors in the Medieval USRA Stock Cars will earn Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points in all three programs this weekend. National points are also up for grabs for USRA Modified racers in Saturday’s post-dawn throwdown.

Tickets for Saturday morning’s show are $25 for general admission while seniors (62+) are $20. Tickets for Saturday evening’s show are $30 for general admission or $25 for seniors (62+). Kids ages 6-12 get in for $10 at all three shows. Pit passes are $40 Friday while kids ages 6-10 are $25. Children under 6 years of age get into the grandstands or pits FREE all weekend.

If you can’t be at the Humboldt Speedway in person, you can still enjoy every lap of every race in every division on every night of King of America X and Battle at The Bullring VI driven by G-Style Transport at racindirt.tv.

The Humboldt Speedway is located 0.1 mile west of US 169 at the Humboldt Exit, then 0.5 mile south, then 0.9 mile east on Georgia Rd. (1663 Georgia Rd, Humboldt, KS 66748). For more information, call (620) 431-2470 or visit humboldtspeedway.com.

As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

Sanders vaults to victory in American Racer USRA Modified Series debut at Monarch Motor Speedway

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 21:31:21 GMT

Sanders vaults to victory in American Racer USRA Modified Series debut at Monarch Motor Speedway

On a cold and windy evening at the Monarch Motor Speedway on Friday, Rodney Sanders gave the fans in attendance and those watching live online at home a spectacular show as he captured the win in the first-ever event for the new American Racer USRA Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports.

Polesitter Nathan Smith of Anthony, New Mexico, grabbed the lead when the green flag waved at the 1/4-mile semi-banked dirt oval outside of Wichita Falls, Texas, but fourth-starting Max Eddie Thomas of Quinlan powered into the lead on the third lap and paced the race for the next 16 circuits before Sanders took control.

Cautions plagued the main event between laps three and five with four yellow flags that included Smith going to the tail after contact on a restart with Kale Westover that saw Westover’s night end early, and a red flag after Kenny Gaddis performed a single roll-over after tagging the wall in turn three.

Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kansas, found himself running third in just seven laps after rolling off 14th while Sanders, who hails from a town called Happy in West Texas, found himself starting 13th on the grid after a dismal heat race but slowly picked his way through the field as he advanced toward the front.

The four-time USMTS National Champion broke into the top-10 on the third lap and climbed all the way to fourth place by the seventh lap. He took third from Davis four laps later and snuck by Flower Mound’s Kevin Rutherford for second with 16 laps complete.

With two lapped cars separating Thomas and Sanders, the race’s sixth caution with nine laps to go erased a healthy advantage for the leader and Sanders capitalized on his good fortune. After searching for a way around the high-flying leader for three laps, Sanders slid by on lap 20 and battled Thomas back to the flag stand.

Sanders was able to hang on for the win and pocketed the $2,000 top prize plus an additional $500 from GPW Transportation of Belton, Texas, after passing 12 cars to earn hard charger honors. Originally earmarked for a $500-to-win dash, that race was scrapped in order to speed up the program with threatening weather forecasted for later in the evening.

Thomas took home a $1,500 consolation prize while Davis, who passed 11 cars, earned $1,000 for finishing third. Rutherford recorded a fourth-place finish and Midlothian’s Chris Huckeba completed the top five.

Smith rebounded to score a sixth-place paycheck with David Tanner, Sean Gaddis, Kevin Rowland and James McCreery rounding out the top 10.

Rutherford, Tanner and Casey Fowler pocketed an extra $100 each when their names were randomly drawn at the drivers meeting prior to hot laps. Beginning with the second event for the series, officials will draw three random names that will win a $100 cash bonus during the drivers meeting. The winning driver(s) must attend the drivers meeting and have competed in the previous series event.

In other Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action Friday night, Trevor Foley collected the win in the USRA Limited Mod main event while Stephen Torrez found himself in the winners circle following the Sunoco USRA Factory Stock feature. Colton Mooney topped the 15-lap USRA Tuner nightcap.

Round 2 of the inaugural campaign for the American Racer USRA Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports takes place Friday, April 16, at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, followed by a date at the Big O Speedway in Ennis, Texas, on Saturday, April 17. Both events will award a $2,000 top prize to the main event winner.

For the remainder of the races in 2021, provisional starting spots will be awarded at each event to the two drivers ranked highest in series points that failed to qualify for the main event. Each driver is eligible for two (2) provisionals.

Each of the venues hosting one or more American Racer USRA Modified Series shows are paying no less than $2,000 to win and $200 or more to start the feature race. At season’s end, the points champion will pocket a minimum of $4,000 from the nearly $20,000 points fund.

USRA Modified racers will be able to compete for several individual points funds. In addition to the new American Racer USRA Modified Series, drivers will earn national and regional points in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series, and sanctioned racetracks may also award 2021 track points funds also.

Ramirez reels in USMTS Texas Spring Nationals

Woodward, Oklahoma’s Dereck Ramirez met every challenge that came his way Saturday night at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, and it paid off with a $10,000 prize and victory in the finale of the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals.

Sybesma Graphics Pole Award winner Kale Westover of Blair, Oklahoma, took control at the waving green flag while Friday’s winner, Terry Phillips, quickly jumped from fifth on the starting grid to second in less than two laps around the quarter-mile bullring.

With Phillips searching for an opening around Westover around the bottom of the racing surface, Ramirez made a charge around the outside of third-running Tyler Wolff to put himself into contention when the yellow flag was displayed for the first time with seven laps in the books to thwart the four-car breakaway.

Phillips to the high side, gets by Westover and slams the door shut to lead the ninth lap. Westover followed Phillips to the top while Ramirez and Wolff occupied the short way around the track. Meanwhile, defending USMTS national champ Rodney Sanders joined the action up front.

The next dozen or so laps were jaw-dropping as Phillips went high with Ramirez low in one corner and then crossing-over to swap lanes in the next while Westover and Sanders sat back and enjoyed the show. Ramirez was rewarded for his patience and shot past Phillips to lead lap 21.

Four laps later, Westover executed a bottom-to-top monster slider to put Phillips back to third place. Five laps later Phillips was all the way back to fifth while Ramirez, Westover and Sanders battled up front with Wolff in tow.

Sanders erased the advantage Ramirez enjoyed and the leaders finally reach the back of the field on the 38th lap—31 orbits since the last slowdown on the seventh lap—but the great battle that was brewing was cooled off then the race’s third caution slowed the action.

Ramirez took to the low side on the restart while Sanders went to the top, but the two changed lanes in the next corner with Ramirez continuing to cling to a thin advantage with 10 laps to go. Meanwhile, 2018 USMTS national champ Johnny Scott was catfishing his way forward and challenged Wolff for third as they completed lap 41.

With five to go, Sanders peeked to the inside of Ramirez but was unable to pull ahead. Ramirez responded by pulling away while Wolff filled the top line when Sanders abandoned it.

Ramirez saw the checkered flag first to earn a $10,000 paycheck and his 15th career USMTS win. He’ll be sporting the bright yellow Wrisco Points Leader spoiler when the series invades the Humboldt speedway for King of America X in two weeks.

Wolff wound up one spot shy of notching his second USMTS triumph while Sanders held on for third with Scott and Westover completing the top five. Tanner Mullens, Jake O'Neil, Phillips, Lucas Schott and Jake Gallardo rounded out the top 10.

KING OF AMERICA X UP NEXT

Delayed by one year due to the pandemic of 2020, King of America X powered by Summit is set for Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, at the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas. Friday night's winner will pocket $5,000 while Saturday's top prize is no less than $10,000.

Eight different drivers have claimed victory in the previous nine blockbusters and the previous winners list is a who's who of dirt modified racing. Ricky Thornton Jr. captured the crown two years ago and is the defending champion of the event.

This year's version will fire off with an open practice on Thursday, March 25, followed by two complete shows featuring USMTS Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Tuners on Friday and Saturday.

If you can’t be there in person, you can still enjoy every lap of every race in every division on every night streaming live at RacinDirt.TV.

The Humboldt Speedway is a located 0.1 mile west of US 169 at the Humboldt Exit, then 0.5 mile south, then 0.9 mile east on Georgia Rd. (1663 Georgia Rd, Humboldt, KS 66748). For more information, call (620) 431-2470 or visit humboldtspeedway.com.

USMTS TAKING DIRT TO NEW LEVEL IN 2021

The 2021 campaign for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s features 36 nights of racing with the winners of those main events set to take home over $300,000 in earnings from more than $1 million in prize money earmarked for those shows. Twenty-six of the 36 race nights will pay at least $10,000 to win while the other 10 carry a $5,000 top prize.

As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

Phillips draws first blood in USMTS Texas Spring Nationals

Phillips draws first blood in USMTS Texas Spring Nationals

The most anticipated opening night in the 23-year history of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s finally took place Friday night and the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals at the RPM Speedway did not disappoint.

Following two weeks of some of the most destructive weather in a generation, race fans in North Texas flocked to the quarter-mile dirt bullring outside of Crandall to watch 71 fire-breathing USMTS Modifieds and 200 cars between all of the classes on the card.

Fito Gallardo of Las Cruces, New Mexico, led the 26-car field to the green flag for the start of the 50-lap main event but it was Terry Phillips of Springfield, Missouri, getting the advantage by the time they returned to the flagstand to complete the first lap.

Tyler Davis joined the action to make it a three-wide battle through the next corner, but Phillips was able to once again pull away as the field circled the racy, wide track again. He eventually increased his advantage to nearly a full straightaway by the end of the fifth lap.

Meanwhile, Gallardo and Davis continued their battle for second with Joe Duvall, Rodney Sanders, Dereck Ramirez, Jake O’Neil and Nathan Smith—who laid down the QA1 quickest qualifying lap earlier in the program—grappling for positions right behind the front trio.

Smith’s hot night turned to a simmer when he got sideways on lap 10 to bring out a yellow flag which sent him to the rear of the field for the restart. Two laps later, Gallardo smacked the backstretch wall and then veered straight into the outer concrete wall in turn three to bring out the race’s fourth caution and a tow truck to carry his injured machine back to the pit area.

With Phillips continuing to hold the point, Ramirez worked his way ahead of Davis for second place on lap 20 and then was gifted a yellow flag two laps later to put him on Phillips’ rear bumper for the restart.

To no avail, the 54-year-old Phillips left his pursuers behind as he streaked away from Ramirez and on to a $10,000 payday.

If a sixth caution had occurred in the final ten laps, Carlos Ahumada Jr. might very well have had something to show Phillips. Ahumada, who started tenth, passed three cars between laps 35 and 40 including O’Neil, Davis and Ramirez.

Despite shaving off nearly a half-second of Phillips’ advantage each of the final eight laps, the veteran “TP” was flawless up front as he moved in and out of lapped cars en route to his 34th career USMTS victory.

“Had no clue where to go,” Phillips said after his wire-to-wire performance. “I figured they was all over me. Just when I caught traffic there it got so rough down there on the bottom that they didn’t have nowhere else to go.

“Car was pretty good. Threw a little different stuff at it over the winter here and it seems like it helped. I was off a little bit in the heat but got a good, lucky draw. Anyway, car was awesome. GRT (Race Cars) hanging in there and building winners.”

Ahumada, meanwhile, clawed his way to a career-best runner-up finish and a $5,000 prize. Davis bested Ramirez for third and fifth-starting O'Neil was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Sanders, Lucas Schott, Duvall, Tyler Wolff and Lance Mari.

A frequent visitor to RPM Speedway’s Honeycutt Sand & Gravel Victory Lane, Tommy Davis Jr. finished 13th after starting 24th and copped the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award while taking the initial lead in the Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year Award points.

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey's will bang wheels again Saturday with another $10,000-to-win main event on tap for the second night of the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals.

This weekend's 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals was slated to be a two-track affair but due to oversaturated grounds from heavy rain this week, officials at the Superbowl Speedway have announced that the track will not be able to host Saturday’s event. Therefore, both days are now back at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, where they were planned to be prior to the snow and ice of the previous weekend.

USRA Limited Mods, USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Tuners and Eco Mods will share the spotlight. Pits open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 and racing starts at 6 p.m.

For those unable to attend in person, you can catch every lap of every race in every division both nights at https://www.racindirt.tv.

The RPM Speedway is a 1/4-mile semi-banked dirt oval located southeast of Crandall on US 175 E to CR 4106 (Bud Stoy Rd. exit) to the intersection of CR 4104. The physical address is 1267 Co Rd 4106, Crandall, TX 75114. For more information, check out http://rpmdirt.com.

USMTS TAKING DIRT TO NEW LEVEL IN 2021

As if that were not enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

RPM Speedway to host both nights of USMTS Texas Spring Nationals February 26-27

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 15:28:43 GMT

RPM Speedway to host both nights of USMTS Texas Spring Nationals February 26-27

A late change in plans will see both nights of the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals take place at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, on Friday and Saturday, February 26-27.

Saturday’s show was originally slated to happen at the Big O Speedway in Ennis but is unable to take place due to unforeseen circumstances, therefore the RPM Speedway will keep the doors open one more night and double the wow factor at the Kevin Rogers and Kevin Sustaire’s bullring.

Dirt modified racing’s best of the best will bang wheels for $10,000 to win each night as the biggest, boldest and richest season in the 22-year history of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s lights the fuse in the Lone Star State.

Adding to the spectacular racing program for fans and competitors, the 3rd Annual King of the Hill, 6th Annual Smackdown and 5th Annual Battle Royal will also be a part of the event. Those annual favorites were “snowed out” this week at the RPM Speedway.

The undisputed heavyweight champions of dirt modified racing will make first contact with the clay on Thursday when the track hosts an open practice and King of the Hill prior to the season-opening battle on Friday night.

Twenty-four hours later, the USMTS Modifieds will take to the track for the second straight night sharing the spotlight with USRA Limited Mods, Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Tuners and Eco Mods.

The USMTS competitors have banged wheels six times at the RPM Speedway, including four times last fall. After a rain-out in 2012, Johnny Scott won the series debut here in 2013 with Rodney Sanders grabbing the win when the USMTS returned 79 days later.

Dereck Ramirez garnered the win last September before the series returned for the three-night season finale in November. That event produced first-time winners Jack Sartain and Brandon Sheppard on Thursday and Friday with Sheppard backing up his victory with a second straight on Saturday night.

On the heels of the most volatile year in more than a century, officials from the United States Modified Touring Series announced the 2021 schedule last month with 36 nights of racing on the calendar.

More than $1 million in prize money is earmarked for those shows with the main event winners set to take home more than $300,000 of that amount.

Twenty-six of the 36 races will pay at least $10,000 to win. The other ten carry a $5,000 top prize.

As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top 10 finishers in the final points standings. A paycheck for a record $70,000 is reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

Along the grueling dirt road that has produced just seven different USMTS National Champions in the previous 22 seasons, fans and drivers will visit legendary facilities hosting longtime USMTS classics, new and exciting venues, inaugural events and some tracks returning after a multi-year absence.

2021 USMTS campaign takes dirt modified racing to next level

2021 USMTS campaign takes dirt modified racing to next level

On the heels of the most volatile year in more than a century, officials from the United States Modified Touring Series have announced the richest and boldest schedule of events in the history of the premier dirt modified circus for the 2021 campaign.

“We’ve been blessed with having the best drivers, best fans and best marketing partners in the business for nearly a quarter century now,” said USMTS President and co-founder Todd Staley. “If we learned nothing else in 2020, it was that life is short and fragile so we all need to enjoy every minute of it. I think our competitors will enjoy the money they take home from every race this year—somebody needs to pay these guys what they’re worth.”

With 36 nights of racing on the calendar, just the winners of those main events are set to take home $310,032 with more than $1 million earmarked for the payouts in those shows. Twenty-six of the 36 race nights will pay at least $10,000 to win. The other ten carry a $5,000 top prize.

As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s. A paycheck for a record $70,000 is reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

The 2021 campaign lights the fuse with the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals on Friday and Saturday, February 26-27, at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, and Big O Speedway in Ennis, Texas. Action wraps up Halloween weekend with the second year of the Modster Mash tripleheader with a trio of $10,000-to-win events including the 6th annual Grant Junghans Memorial.

USMTS Summit Southern Nationals finale belongs to Sheppard

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:23:09 GMT

USMTS Summit Southern Nationals finale belongs to Sheppard

Brandon Sheppard capped a perfect weekend as the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s closed out the 2020 season Saturday at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, with the final night of the 3rd Annual Summit Southern Nationals.

Sheppard, who missed Thursday’s opener to collect a $100,000 check for winning his second straight World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship, sped to his second win of the weekend and kept it flawless by also winning his qualifying heat race for a second straight night.

Saturday’s 50-lapper started just like it did the previous night with Terry Phillips starting on the pole and squirting out to take control when the green flag dropped while Sheppard quickly snatched second place from Bo Day.

With Phillips working the middle of the 1/4-mile oval, Sheppard hugged the low line and kept the pressure on the veteran racer from Springfield, Missouri, for the first quarter of the contest before making his move for the lead.

Sheppard edged in front to lead lap 11 and the 27-year-old from New Berlin, Illinois, never trailed again.

“The track was awesome once again tonight and my car was great,” Sheppard said. “I could run top, middle, bottom—wherever I needed to—and I was able to rotate it in the middle of the corner and come off low. That’s where I was a little bit better than Phillips there.”

Meanwhile, Tyler Davis got around Phillips halfway through the race in heavy lapped traffic and recorded his best USMTS finish in 40 tries this year with a runner-up effort.

Phillips, who dropped out due to mechanical woes while leading on Friday, held it together to see the checkered flag and settled for third at the finish line ahead of Jake Gallardo, who advanced ten spots to grab fourth.

A testament to the level of competition on hand Saturday, Rodney Sanders and Dereck Ramirez—the top two in USMTS points—both had to take provisional starting spots to join the main event field.

While Sanders struggled for the third straight night to finish 13th, Ramirez clawed his way from 26th on the grid to finish fifth at the completion of 50 laps.

Lucas Lee, who started 16th, took the sixth spot, Carlos Ahumada Jr. started and finished seventh, Tanner Mullens earned an eighth-place paycheck, Clyde Dunn Jr. nabbed ninth and Fito Gallardo completed the top 10.

Looking back and looking ahead: With the waving of the checkered flag to conclude tonight’s feature race, it put the wraps on a wild, up-and-down and unpredictable 2020 season that was thrown into disarray by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to Rodney Sanders claiming his fourth USMTS national title and Tanner Mullens collecting the USMTS Grant Junghans Rookie of the Year Award, other special awards will also be announced in the coming days.

Unofficially, Hatfield Racing Engines in Joplin, Missouri, wins the Compstar/JE Pistons USMTS Engine Builder of the Year Award while the Miller Welders USMTS Manufacturers Championship goes to MBCustoms Race Cars in Menomonie, Wisconsin.

Sanders sits atop the final season-long points for the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award and Jason Hughes edged Sanders for the Eibach Spring Forward Award.

The 2020 season for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s was highlighted by 40 nights of racing at 25 unique dirt ovals for the 22nd season of competition for the world’s Best of the Best in dirt modified racing.

Sheppard herds USMTS Summit Southern Nationals success

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s welcomed another first-time winner Friday night as Brandon Sheppard collected the victory on the second night of the 3rd Annual Summit Southern Nationals at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas.

Sheppard did not compete in Thursday’s contest as he was busy collecting a trophy and $100,000 check in Charlotte, N.C., for his second straight World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship.

He added another $3,000 to his checking account balance with his win Friday, along with another entry to his glowing résumé.

Terry Phillips, who captured last year’s Southern Nationals finale in a rain-shortened feature race, jumped out to an early lead in the 40-lap main event and was hoping to bag his 34th career USMTS win.

Mechanical problems, however, ended the night for Phillips on lap 14 and Sheppard was right there to take the reins, and then went on to pace the remaining laps while his teammate, Dereck Ramirez, followed him to the checkered flag in second.

In a spirited battle for third over the last half of the race, Tyler Davis held off Jake Gallardo and Chris Henigan for the spot while Tanner Mullens, Joe Duvall, Clyde Dunn Jr., Bo Day and Jason Hughes rounded out the top 10.

Super Saturday finale: The RPM Speedway will host the third and final night of the Summit Southern Nationals on Saturday with a complete program of qualifying heat races and feature events, culminating with the emergence of the 2020 USMTS national champion and national champs in the Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Limited Mods and USRA Tuners.

Sanders has already clinched his second straight—and fourth overall—USMTS title while Tommy Davis Jr. has mathematically eliminated his challengers in the USRA Limited Mod standings. Davis, however, trails Walter Hamilton in the USRA Factory Stock points as he seeks another championship in that division.

USMTS drivers will battle for a $5,000 top prize Saturday. Meanwhile, Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks will be competing for $1,500 to win while USRA Limited Mods are gunning for $1,700 to win courtesy of Blackwell Construction.

Blackwell Construction will also be auctioning off a race-ready Limited Mod to be given away at the end of the night. Tickets will be sold in the grandstands and pits throughout the program and are only $10 per ticket.

USRA Tuners will also be on the card Saturday. San Antonio’s Brian Schoenbaum Jr. has clinched the national championship in the organization’s front-wheel-drive sport compact class.

The pits open at 2 p.m., the drivers meeting starts at 5:30 and racing gets underway at 6, but if the day’s high temperature exceeds 70 degrees all times are one half-hour later.

Every lap in every division every night will be broadcast live at RacinDirt.TV.

The 2020 schedule for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s is highlighted by 40 nights of racing at 25 unique dirt ovals for the 22nd season of competition for the world’s Best of the Best in dirt modified racing.

Schott, McCowan shine in Humboldt’s Halloween Hangover

Schott, McCowan shine in Humboldt’s Halloween Hangover

The third and final episode of the first-ever Modster Mash cauldron of cash for dirt modified racers took place Sunday at the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas, for the inaugural Halloween Hangover at The Hummer.

Featuring a $5,000-to-win main event for USRA Modifieds, the best of the best in the sport were on hand to try their luck but it was ‘Cool Hand’ Lucas Schott with the hot hand.

As fate would have it, the two racers sitting atop the USRA Modified division in Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points earned their way onto the front row for the 40-lap feature race.

Schott, from Chatfield, Minnesota, came into the contest as the points leader but clinging to a precarious 10-point cushion over Jake Gallardo of Las Cruces, New Mexico, who garnered the pole position.

With a win by either driver, the title was virtually hanging in the balance.

Just as one lap was being complete, the yellow flag waved when fourth-starting Terry Phillips as he slowed with a flat left rear tire.

Schott led the field back to the green flag with Jake O’Neil—who collected $10,031 for his “Spooktacular” win at the 81 Speedway in Park City about 20 hours earlier—on the inside of the second row and Gallardo on the outside.

Exiting the second turn, Gallardo sent a shower of sparks over the concrete wall as he peeled the left side of his spoiler off. The next time around, a flat tire sent him to the pit area and out of serious contention for the win and title.

Several others including Lance Mari, O’Neil, Brooks Strength, Jimmy Owens and Tyler davis tried their best to find a faster line and run down Schott over the final 36 laps, but none were successful and Schott cruised to a comfortable win despite a handful of cautions which kept giving hope to his chasers.

Unofficially until points are audited over the next two weeks, Schott will be crowned the 2020 USRA Modified national champion. It’s his second after earning the honor in 2016 too—one year after Gallardo took the title in 2015.

Strength outdueled three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champ Jimmy Owens for second with O’Neil and Dereck Ramirez completing the top five.

World of Outlaws Late Model Series champ Brandon Sheppard, who started 14th, followed his teammate in sixth, Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year Tanner Mullens seized seventh, 18th-starting Cade Dillard earned an eight-place paycheck, Tyler Wolff nabbed ninth and USMTS points leader Rodney Sanders was tenth at the finish line.

O’Neil and Wolff were the only racers to register a top-ten finish each of the three nights during Modster Mash weekend. O’Neil’s average finish was 4.7 while Wolff’s was 6.

Dillon McCowan won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Future superstars were on display in the USRA B-Mod main event as 16-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana, Missouri, rode the high side to a thrilling victory over Patrick Royalty who won Friday’s USRA B-Mod feature during the Grant Junghans Memorial at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City.

A third-place finish, coupled with his win the previous night, was enough to seal the deal for 17-year-old Jim Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, who unofficially clinched the 2020 USRA B-Mod national championship, ending Kris Jackson’s two-year reign.

Jake Richards bested early leader Shadren Turner for fourth while veteran ace Rick Beebe, Jackson, John Potter, Dan Wheeler and Matthew Kay rounded out the top ten.

USRA Tuners were also part of the show with polesitter Cayden Vance of Chanute capturing the win over Curtis Wilson Jr. and Allen Jesseph.

Sunday was the final day for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points for all classes except Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Limited Mods and USRA Tuners. Those three classes will compete in this coming weekend’s Summit Southern Nationals.

Summit Southern Nationals next: Set for this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 5-7, the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, will host the 3rd Annual USMTS/USRA Summit Southern Nationals for the first time with the ground-shaking power of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s headlining the event.

Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks and USRA Limited Mods will also be in action all three nights with the USRA Tuners joining the party on Friday and Saturday.

Fans seeking that final fast fix before winter begins to creep in will see some incredible action all three days with a complete program of qualifying heat races and feature events each night.

USMTS drivers will battle for a $2,000 top prize Thursday while Friday’s winner gets $3,000. Saturday’s championship finale pays $5,000 to win.

Meanwhile, Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks and USRA Limited Mods will both be competing for $1,000 to win Thursday, $1,250 to win Friday and $1,500 to win Saturday.

The event will kick off with an open practice on Wednesday, November 4, from 6-8:30 p.m., and is currently slated to be the only night for hot laps. Pits open at 2 p.m. and the drivers meeting is slated for 5:30.

The pits open at 2:00 p.m., the drivers meeting starts at 5:30 and racing gets underway at 6:00 all three days. However, if the high temperature is more than 70 degrees any day, all times are one half-hour later that day.

Every lap in every division every night will be broadcast live at RacinDirt.TV.

Thornton smokes Grant Junghans Memorial field

Thornton smokes Grant Junghans Memorial field

The 5th Annual Grant Junghans Memorial attracted 118 of the best dirt modified racers to the Lakeside Speedway Friday, and Mother Nature’s multiple visits throughout the week provided a super-fast racetrack for competitors to navigate all night long.

USRA Modifieds battled through seven rounds of group qualifying, seven heat races and four “B” features before 25 warriors lined up for a 42-lap main event on the historic half-mile oval in Kansas City, Kan.

Ricky Thornton Jr. set the pace for the start of the contest and engaged in a spirited battle with Jordan Grabouski during the opening laps. Grabouski was able to slide in front to lead lap 6 but relinquished the lead back to Thornton on the seventh lap.

While many top win-seekers such as USRA Modified national title contender Jake Gallardo and USMTS points leader Rodney Sanders failed to finish due to mechanical woes, Thornton drove off to a huge lead with no cautions over the final 32 laps to aid his pursuers.

Thornton went on to take the checkers and the $10,102 winner’s share of the prize money, but some of that may have been spent before he reached the checkered flag.

Nursing a huge lead, Thornton’s USRA Modified started to slow drastically and the deep sound of a failing engine gurgled past the flagstand with two laps remaining.

By the time Thornton came back around for the white flag, second-running Tyler Wolff had closed rapidly and only had the lapped car of Grabouski between himself and the leader, but difficulty navigating around Grabouski’s red Terry Phillips Racing team car sent Wolff high on the track and into the loose dirt.

Unable to catch the leader, Wolff crossed the finish line three car-lengths back as Thornton’s ride exploded in a cloud of smoke as he coasted into the winner’s circle.

California’s Lance Mari advanced a dozen positions to finish third while Phillips held off USRA Modified national points leader Lucas Schott for fourth.

Cade Dillard, Grabouski and Dennis Elliott were sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively, and the last cars still on the racetrack at the end of the race.

Every main event starter earned no less than $1,202.

In the 22-lap USRA B-Mod main event, Andy Bryant blasted into the lead at the drop of the green flag and proceeded to disappear from the pack.

By the time the race’s first yellow flag waved on lap 8, the 2015 USRA B-Mod national champ was already working lapped traffic with more than seven seconds between himself and second-place Randy Ainsworth.

Following another quick caution three laps later, Bryant again led the field back to the green flag but an apparent mechanical failure on his No. 28 machine as he exited the fourth turn sent him head-on into the front-stretch concrete wall.

The next ten seconds were intense and silenced the Lakeside Speedway and RacinDirt.TV audience as Bryant’s mount went into a series of twisting flips and absorbed several high-impact collisions from oncoming competitors.

What remained was a completely demolished racecar that had the rear portion ripped away and took on the appearance of a mangled stock car after a “big one” on a superspeedway.

Despite the violent crash, track and emergency crewmembers were immediately on the scene and helped extract an unhurt Bryant moments later.

Mike Striegel inherited the lead for the next restart with nine laps remaining in the 22-lapper. He held the point for two laps before Kansas City racer Patrick Royalty powered into the lead on lap 14.

Royalty, who captured a track championship here this year, collected his first USRA B-Mod victory of the season while earning $1,002 for his efforts.

Jeremy Chambers advanced 14 spots to claim the runner-up paycheck, Striegel held on for third, Ainsworth held on for fourth and Nick Newton rounded out the top five.

Patrick Royalty won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Spooktacular Saturday: The inaugural Mel Hambelton Ford Modified “Spooktacular” presented by Park City will take place at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, on Saturday with a $10,031 paycheck going to the USRA Modified winner and a minimum of $700 to each starter in the main event.

USRA B-Mods will also be running for $1,031 to win and $131 to start.

Saturday night , one lucky fan will win a free two-year lease of a new Ford F-150 from Mel Hambelton Ford. Five keys will be given out from their Facebook page at facebook.com/mhford and five to fans at the race.

Also, don't forget about 81 Speedway’s Trunk-or-Treat prior to the races throughout the pit area from 4-4:45 p.m. Fans must have a grandstand ticket to participate. Use the main grandstand entrance when arriving at the racetrack, and then use the south walk-through gate to enter the pit area.

The pits open at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 4, hot laps begin at 5:15 and racing gets underway at 6 p.m. For more information check out race81speedway.com.

Sunday, November 1: The road leads to the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas, for the first-ever “Halloween Hangover at The Hummer” featuring a $5,000-to-win, $320-to-start feature for USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods once again sharing the spotlight and racing for $1,000 to win.

USRA Tuners and Midwest Mods are also on the card.

The pits open at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 3, hot laps begin at 3:45 and racing gets underway at 4:30 p.m. For more information check out humboldtspeedway.com.

Opening act of Modstar Mash too wet

Opening act of Modstar Mash too wet

What was four is now three.

The opening act for the inaugural Modster Mash, set for Thursday, October 29, at the Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Oklahoma, has been cancelled due to rain all week and more on the way.

The event will not be rescheduled but everything else this weekend is on as planned.

Friday, October 30: Head north to the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, for the fifth annual “Grant Junghans Memorial” paying $10,102 to win the USRA Modified main event.

Currently, the start money is no less than $1,202. More money will be added as sponsorships come in. USRA B-Mods will also be racing for $1,002 to win and $102 to start.

For more information check out lakesidespeedway.net.

Saturday, October 31: The inaugural Mel Hambelton Ford Modified “Spooktacular” presented by Park City will take place at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, with a $10,031 paycheck going to the winner and a minimum of $700 to each starter in the main event.

USRA B-Mods will also be running for $1,031 to win and $131 to start.

For more information check out race81speedway.com.

USRA Tuners are also on the racing card.

For more information check out humboldtspeedway.com.

Among the nearly 70 USRA Modified entries already are racers that bring résumés with 50 current and past national championships in various sanctions and divisions.

Two notable names from outside of the dirt modified ranks—at least for the last decade or so—are reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Jimmy Owens and 2020 World of Outlaws Late Model Series champ Brandon Sheppard.

Owens, who collected his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crown this year to add to his four UMP Modified national titles, has more than 560 dirt late model and modified victories in his career.

Sheppard, meanwhile, collected his third World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship in four years recently and captured the 2013 UMP Late Model national championship.

Both will be piloting mounts from the Ramirez Motorsports stable in Woodward, Okla., which owns the team that Owens drives for in the LOLMDS. Sheppard also steered a Ramirez ride in last year’s Grant Junghans Memorial at the 81 Speedway and finished second behind Jacob Bleess.

Every USMTS national champion since 2010 will be in the pits all four nights, led by defending and soon-to-be four-time titlist Rodney Sanders.

Another four-time champ, Jason Hughes, will also compete with two-time USMTS national champion Ryan Gustin and 2018 champ Johnny Scott also on the pre-entry list.

Between them they have 410 career feature wins with the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s.

Five former USRA Modified national champs—Darron Fuqua (2018), Lucas Schott (2016), Jake Gallardo (2015), Fito Gallardo (2014) and Johnny Bone Jr. (2011)—have made their intentions known, and plan to take their share of the money home.

With USRA national points ending Halloween Weekend, Jake Gallardo and Schott are in a nail-biting battle for this year’s crown and the 2020 Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national champ will emerge on Sunday night.

Other entries with national championship pedigrees include:

• Terry Phillips, four-time Lucas Oil MLRA champ and six-time MARS champ

• Tyler Davis, two-time NCRA national champ

• Tanner Mullens, 2018 NCRA national champ

• Scott Green, 2016 NCRA national champ

• Travis Saurer, four-time Wissota national champ

• Dustin Strand, two-time Wissota national champ

• Cory Crapser, three-time Wissota national champion and two-time USRA Iron Man champ.

And with nearly $200,000 in prize money to be doled out in about 100 hours or real time, the event has drawn one of the most prolific fields of competitors in the history of dirt modified competition.

Thursday, October 29: Drivers will get their first chance to race for great money in the inaugural “King of the Ring” at the Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Oklahoma, with $10,050 to win and $700 to start for USRA Modifieds.

Davis dices through traffic to checkers; McIlvain a champ as Blocher, Bice and Denny card wins

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 15:10:04 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

Saturday the 19th was the final weekend of racing in the month of September at 81 Speedway, sounding the bell on just one more month to go during the 2020 season for the Park City, KS oval. Cars filled the pit area with 83 competitors making the call for racing action across 4 divisions on the night.

One Championship hunt was settled on the night, as Mike McIlvain’s model of consistency during the 2020 season proved to be just enough to hold off David Blocher for the title. Coming into the night Blocher tackled an uphill climb, trailing the 54 of McIlvain by a slim margin. Doing everything right, Blocher claimed the nights feature win in dominating fashion. When the final points were tallied, machinal woes and miscues throughout the season proved too much to overcome for the 24B. McIlvain had to battle his share of issues throughout the night, sustaining damage during an in-race accident, but soldiered on finishing 4th to lay claim to the 2020 AutoTech Service Center Street Stock Championship.

Mini Stock A-feature actions saw Wichita’s Kore Bice claim his 4th win of the year. Inheriting the lead after a spin by Colten Kelley, Bice never looked back driving to the checkers with Haley Cash, Dale Shockey, Jayce Reimer, and Aaron Esparza in tow. The nights lone heat race win went to the 111 of Nick Quiring.

For the third time on the year Jason Denny shook of the bad luck bug that has plagued him off and on throughout the 2020 season, claiming the win in Chunky Poodle Rookie Modified action. A solid drive from 7th to 2nd in heat race 1 put Denny inside the top six redraw for the nights A-feature starting spots. Receiving the number one starting spot, Denny took full advantage leading all 15 laps in route to the win. Curtis Barnes backed up his impressive first ever start at 81, finishing in the runner up spot for the second straight week. Last week’s feature winner Brett Davis finished 3rd, mid-season mini stock graduate Slade Mohr was 4th, and Rustin Wilson rounded out the top 5. Jim Roney went last to first in B-feature competition, while Dalton Murphy, Brett Davis, Dillon Moler, and Barnes claimed heat race wins.

A stout 30 car field signed in for Alternative Pest Management USRA Modified action, a mixture of USMTS road warriors, Midwest regional stars, and local track juggernauts all making the call. Flyin Ryan McAninch brought the 24 car A-feature field to the green and led the opening two laps, but it was fourth starting Tyler Davis on the early move, claiming the top spot at the exit of turn 4 to complete lap number 3. The only caution of the race came at the completion of that lap when Richard Wilson’s 2w stalled along the outside of the turns 3 & 4 fence.

When the race went back to green, Davis pulled away to a fifteen-car length advantage while 6th starting Brendon Gemmill engaged in a heated battle for the 3rd spot with McAninch. Settling that argument at the end of lap six, Gemmill went to work setting his sight squarely on the back of the Hughes racing chassis #65. With seven laps to go things started to heat up, as Davis’ lead was trimmed to a car length and a half. Gemmill tried multiple lines around the 81 Speedway oval on the next two circuits, attempting passes for the lead before the pair got into traffic. With five to go, traffic would play a factor over the last quarter of the race’s 20 lap distance.

The two leaders lined up nose to tail to drive around the first pair of lap cars to complete lap 16. With four to go, Davis used Ricky Bonham’s #34 machine as a pick, driving under the Hutchinson, KS driver at the entry of turn three, Gemmill getting trapped behind Bonham off turn four. With a slight bit of breathing room Davis attacked the middle portion of the speedway in turns one and two, while Gemmill switched to the top. Down the back-chute Davis’ lead swelled to five car lengths, and desperation began to set in for Gemmill. Running a razor thin cushion and still trying to work around the 34 machine, Gemmill caught a handful of 81 Speedway’s concrete barrier in turn three and four with two laps to go. Over the race’s final two laps Davis pulled away to claim his first victory on the year, Gemmill held on to second, and McAninch finished third.

Claremore, Oklahoma’s “Big Daddy” Joe Duvall visited the 81 Speedway for the first during weekly racing competition finishing fourth, and tenth starting Kenny Sweet completed the top 5. The night’s hard charger award went to Kendall Kemp. Mount Hope’s Tad Davis won the B-Feature. Heat race wins went to Brian Franz, Lewis Jackson, Kyler Kemp, and Tyler Davis.

81 Speedway takes a week off on September 26. Racing action returns Saturday, October 3rd with a special edition $1000 to win “All Modified Shootout” with a $500 bonus eligible to any non USRA driver should they win the event. Tickets are $12, children 10 and under are free.

Ramirez in a landslide at RPM Speedway

Ramirez in a landslide at RPM Speedway

In their ongoing quest to make racing great again, the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s concluded a three-night 80-hour excursion Sunday at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, with the 2nd Annual USMTS North Texas Nationals presented by Penske Racing Shocks.

When the checkered flag waved, Dereck Ramirez of Woodward, Oklahoma, collected his sixth victory of the 2020 campaign and 14th of his career with a wire-to-wire effort in the 40-lap main event.

The 33-year-old beat polesitter Jason Ingalls to the flagstand to lead the opening lap. Except for an early caution and a handful of brief challenges by points leader Rodney Sanders, that’s as close as anybody got to spoiling Ramirez’s victory lane celebration.

With most of the back-markers sharing the race leader’s preference for the shortest way around the 1/4-mile dirt oval, Ramirez struggled from time to time with lapped traffic but always disposed of those problems before Sanders could pounce and make a move for the lead.

“I was just going to stay in my line,” Ramirez said. “I thought about going to the top and I was like ‘Man, I know it’s pretty clean down here and if I move up and get passed I’m going to be mad at myself.

“It’s just fun to be in victory lane in the land of KR,” Ramirez said, referring to the track’s co-promoter Kevin Rogers.

After thanking his family, crew members, sponsors and fans, Ramirez implored those in attendance to “vote for Donald Trump 2020, baby,” to loud applause. “When I put that (wrap) on there, I said no matter what I’m a winner. He’s a winner and he’s fighting for this country. That’s what we’ve got to have so vote for Trump.”

Ramirez first encountered lapped traffic on lap 12, and quickly disposed of the first two while Jason Ingalls and Sanders battled side-by-side for second with Jason Hughes in their rearview mirrors.

The race’s only caution occurred on lap 14 when Justin Ingalls slowed on the back-stretch. Sanders used a great restart to seize second and challenged Ramirez on several occasions throughout the rest of the contest.

After testing every inch of the RPM Speedway racing surface, Sanders eventually settled for the runner-up paycheck but his effort improved the odds of a fourth USMTS points title for ‘the Rocket.’.

Jason Ingalls, Jake Gallardo and Hughes were the next three to cross the finish line while Tanner Mullens, Joe Duvall, Terry Phillips, Zack VanderBeek and Max Eddie Thomas rounded out the top 10.

Back in November: The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s will return to the RPM Speedway for the 2nd Annual Summit Southern Nationals presented by Super Clean on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 5-7, where the 2020 USMTS national champion will officially be crowned.

Sanders buries USMTS foes at Boothill

Sanders buries USMTS foes at Boothill

The path to a fourth USMTS national title for Rodney Sanders became clearer Saturday night after the 30-year-old from Happy, Texas, collected his tenth win of 2020 when the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s invaded the Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La.

Sanders, who has 24 top-five and 33 top-10 efforts in 34 starts, can seal the deal and secure his second straight crown with a top-ten finish in each of the last six races.

Terry Phillips paced the start from the pole position and led the first lap before giving way to Sanders who led the final 39 circuits en route to a $3,000 payday and his 17th career USMTS triumph.

Dereck Ramirez has trailed Sanders in the points battle since March and trailed him by 1.507 seconds at the finish line in Saturday’s feature race for the 5th Annual I-20 Showdown presented by Champ Pans.

Ninth-starting Tanner Mullens bounced back from his worst night of the season Friday to claim third Saturday and, in doing so, clinched the 2020 Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year Award.

Zack VanderBeek followed up Friday’s win with a fourth-place finish and Tyler Wolff raced from 15th on the starting grid to round out the top five.

Phillips held on for sixth, Chris Henigan was seventh, Tyler Davis came from 19th to ern the eight spot and the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award, Casey Skyberg nabbed ninth and the tenth driver to see the checkered flag was New Mexico’s Jake Gallardo.

Onto Crandall Sunday: After a three-hour westbound drive on Sunday, the swing reaches the checkered flag at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, for the 2nd Annual USMTS North Texas Nationals presented by Penske Racing Shocks.

In addition to the mud-slinging Modifieds of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s, fans will witness Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Limited Mods and USRA Tuners in action too.

The pits open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 ,hot laps begin at 6 and racing gets underway at 6:30.

Louisiana-Texas tripleheader in crosshairs

Phillips finds USMTS bounty in Fayette County

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 18:48:06 GMT

This iTerry Phillips dug deep when he had to and muscled his way to victory Sunday in the 8th Annual USMTS War in West Union presented by Integra at the Fayette County Speedway.

The 54-year-old ace from Springfield, Mo., took his familiar red No. 75 GRT Modified to the top side of the semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval with six laps complete and powered around early leader Zack VanderBeek to make the winning pass.

VanderBeek, who won this event in 2016, held the point through the first two of three cautions. The first happened on lap three when points leader Rodney Sanders lost control in turn four. Mirroring his bobble, Jake O’Neil made the same mistake three laps later.

Running in the top five at the time, both were lucky to avoid contact but were relegated to the back of the field for their respective restarts.

Phillips shot past VanderBeek when the green flag reappeared, but ‘The Z-Man’ battled back and stayed close but Phillips was eventually able to seize control for good on the seventh lap.

The yellow flag waved for the final time on lap 10 with the final 30 circuits staying green and full throttle.

Multiple wheel-banging excursions for position were happening behind Phillips as he reached lapped traffic for the first time on the 22nd lap. This allowed Tanner Mullens, who got by VanderBeek on lap 14, to narrow the gap between himself and the race leader.

After a near run-in with a back-marker that allowed Mullens to pull to Phillips’ rear bumper, the leader quickly navigated through the traffic and increased his advantage over Mullens. He was never challenged again as he sped away to the 33rd main event win of his career with the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s.

The win tied him with Jason Krohn for 10th on the all-time USMTS wins list. Krohn won the first USMTS feature contested in West Union, Iowa, in 2007. That event, however, was held at the long-since-closed Echo Valley Speedway across town.

“The track had some character in it but it was a pretty good racetrack. You could run both lanes and that’s all we ask for,” Phillips said in victory lane. “Congratulations to these guys that prepare this track—I know it rained a bunch.

“There’s a little bit of mud here—a little Mother Nature on it—but that’s okay.”

While Phillips put the $2,500 winner’s check in his pocket, Mullens crossed the finish line second while VanderBeek held on for a solid third-place effort.

Although their original sixth and tenth starting positions won’t tell the whole story on paper, Sanders and O’Neil kept the fans entertained and their fellow competitors frustrated with a pair of impressive runs from the back of the pack after their earlier stumbles.

Sanders was all the way back up to fourth just past the halfway point, but a trio of fast machines ahead of him and no more yellow flags left him there at the checkered flag.

O’Neil, meanwhile, was right there with Sanders and bounded back to complete the top five. Californian Lance Mari had his best effort of the year with a sixth-place finish while Jason Hughes, Lucas Schott, Dereck Ramirez and J.D. Auringer rounded out the top 10.

Louisiana-Texas tripleheader in crosshairs: Delayed nearly five months due to the pandemic panic, the series will finally embark on a three-race adventure through Louisiana and Texas next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 11-13.

Friday finds the fire-breathing USMTS freaks at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., for the 8th Annual USMTS Cajun Clash presented by JE Pistons.

From there, it’s about a 40-minute commute to the Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La., for Saturday’s 5th Annual USMTS I-20 Showdown presented by Champ Pans.

After a three-hour westbound drive on Sunday, the swing reaches the checkered flag at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, for the 2nd Annual USMTS North Texas Nationals presented by Penske Racing Shocks.

2020 campaign nears completion: With the recent cancellation of the Southern Dirt Track Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, the USMTS lost another stop due to COVID-19. Now, following the Sept. 11-13 tripleheader through Louisiana and Texas, just two events and five nights of action remain.

Another victim of the China-born virus that invaded America, the 22nd Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree presented by Chevrolet Performance has been shortened to two days instead of three. The mega-event takes place Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25-26, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

The 2020 USMTS national champion will emerge from the 2nd Annual Summit Southern Nationals presented by Super Clean at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 5-7.

Currently, the 2020 schedule for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s is highlighted by 40 nights of racing at 25 unique dirt ovals for the 22nd season of competition for the world’s Best of the Best in dirt modified racing.

Sanders soldiers on to USMTS win at Salina Highbanks Speedway

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 15:21:02 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s wrapped up a three-race weekend Saturday at the Salina Highbanks Speedway and Rodney Sanders racked up his ninth win of the season and 106th of his career.

Polesitter Jared Russell led the first four laps of the 40-lap main event before Sanders got by to lead the fifth lap.

While much of the field behind him tip-toed around the quicker but more dangerous top side of the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval, Sanders remained committed to the shortest way around the racetrack while he led comfortably for most of the race.

Meanwhile, Tyler Wolff used the high line and disposed of some stiff competition to work his way into second place with 25 laps in the books before the race’s final caution waved on lap 30.

Sanders fired off on the restart and led the next two circuits but Wolff came screaming around the outside to beat Sanders to the flagstand and complete lap 33.

When it looked like Wolff might drive away, Sanders briefly toyed with a higher lane but quickly returned to his preferred low line and seemed content to pocket the runner-up paycheck.

What was left of a cushion appeared to be gone with two laps to go. Wolff smacked the back-stretch wall and then was unable to keep the car under control in turn four, allowing Sanders to sneak back by at the white flag.

Wolff dug deep and fought back to pull even with Sanders entering the final corner, but again the high side was too far gone and Wolff did a dramatic job just to keep his machine out of the wall while Sanders scooted away to the checkered flag.

“There was little bit of moisture on the bottom but it was kind of slimy if you got too low,” Sanders revealed in victory lane. “I felt like if I hit my marks I was good down there, but you had to be so slow. We lapped a car and I felt better in the middle and then Tyler came flying by me.

“Him and his dad help me a lot. If I couldn't have won this deal I was hoping it’d be him.”

The Wolff family’s Arkansas Myriad, Inc. (ARMI) is a sponsor on Sanders’s MBC Customs ride—as well as many other competitors—and picked up the tab to give free admission to veterans and active military attending Saturday night’s 8th Annual ARMI Salute to our Veterans presented by Bryke Racing.

While Wolff settled for second, Sanders earned $3,000 for his second win at “The Highbanks” and added to his advantage in the points standings. He’s seeking his second straight USMTS national championship and fourth overall.

USMTS announcer Bryce Hall interviews Rodney Sanders after his win at the Salina Highbanks Speedway.

One of three previous winners in field, Terry Phillips charged from 11th on the starting grid to collect a third-place finish with Jake O’Neil finishing fourth and Tanner Mullens taking the fifth spot.

Mullens, who started 14th, earned both the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award and Eibach Spring Forward Award for his effort. He also seized the top position in the Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year standings for the first time in 2020.

R.C. Whitwell started and finished sixth while four-time USMTS national champion Jason Hughes settled for seventh in his quest for a series-best seventh win here.

Zack VanderBeek put back-to-back nights of mechanical failures in his rearview mirror and earned the eighth position, Dereck Ramirez nabbed ninth and ‘Big Daddy’ Joe Duvall matched Mullens in passing nine cars in the feature en route to rounding out the top 10.

Labor Day tripleheader looms: The series returns to action Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 4-6, for a traditional Labor Day Weekend excursion through Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. After a three-year hiatus, the USMTS returns to the Chateau Speedway in Lansing, Minnesota, on Friday and then travels to familiar and hallowed ground on Saturday for the 15th Annual USMTS Labor Day Duel at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota. The high-speed hat trick wraps up Sunday at the Fayette County Speedway in West Union, Iowa, for the 8th Annual USMTS War in West Union.

Currently, the 2020 schedule for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s is highlighted by 44 nights of racing at 27 unique dirt ovals for the 22nd season of competition for the world’s Best of the Best in dirt modified racing.

Ramirez sails to USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout win at Lucas Oil Speedway

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:08:51 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

Dereck Ramirez led all but the opening lap in picking up his fifth Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s victory of the season on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway.

Ramirez, bouncing back from some tough luck the previous two nights of the USMTS swing, held off four-time series champ Jason Hughes and Terry Phillips in the 11th annual Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment.

“This means a lot. We’ve been working our butts off and figuring stuff out,” said Ramirez, who wound up 1.49 seconds in front of Hughes. “We're getting better every day.”

Ramirez, from Woodward, Okla., took over the lead on lap 2 and held it from there in a race filled with six cautions and big movers from back in the pack. Ironically, he was driving a Hughes Racing Chassis and that lessened the sting of finishing second for Hughes.

“Congratulations to Dereck and all them guys. They’ve done a hell of a job this year,” Hughes said. “I’m proud to be a part of that. I don’t like second, but I’ll take it every time when we get one of my cars up there.”

Hughes, who fired off from the Sybesma Graphics Pole, led the opening lap before fellow front-row starter Ramirez traded positions with him on lap 2. Ramirez had opened a one-second lead when a four-car tangle in on lap 6 brought out a caution—a foretelling of several to come.

Ramirez and Hughes remained 1-2 after the restart and had distanced third-place Tanner Mullens by two seconds when a caution flew on lap 14. R.C. Whitwell already had worked his way from 18th to fourth by this point with Tyler Davis fifth and 13th-starting Phillips in sixth.

On the restart, seven cars were involved in an accident in turn 2 that brought a red flag out to clean up the blocked track. Once racing resumed, Ramirez opened a 1.4-second lead over Hughes when the race’s fifth caution on lap 25 again stacked the field.

Whitwell was running third, followed by Mullens and Phillips as action restarted with 15 circuits remaining. Phillips moved into third behind Ramirez and Hughes when another caution appeared with nine to go.

Eventual winner Dereck Ramirez (4R) battles with Jason Hughes (12) and R.C. Whitwell (96T) during Saturday night's USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment.

But that would be the final yellow, which was fine by Ramirez who admitted it was tough to stay patient through the many restarts as he cruised the high side of the 3/8-mile semi-banked clay oval.

“I was a little wore out,” Ramirez said. “I didn’t know where to be in (turns) three and four. It was a little rough up there and I figured I was gonna give it away trying to run up there. But I knew that was the fastest way around and I was just trying to keep it on the racetrack—and we got it done.”

Action remained caution-free from there with Ramirez gradually pulling away to prevail by 1.49 seconds. Hughes nipped Phillips for second with Whitwell fourth and Mullens fifth.

Ramirez claimed his 13th career USMTS victory. He finished second on Thursday at the 81 Speedway after losing the lead on the final lap. He had mechanical issues that knocked him from contention on Friday while running second at the Humboldt Speedway.

Hughes, of Watts, Okla., said he was no match for the winner as he fought with his car over the final few laps.

“I was so tight I was trying to make that thing turn in there sideways and make it wide,” Hughes said, noting his battle with Phillips near the finish.

Phillips continued his consistent and strong swing with a third straight third-place finish.

“I just didn't get it done in the heat race tonight, so had to start so far back,” Phillips said. “We made a little charge and put on a show on for the crowd, I guess.”

Whitwell finished fourth with Mullens, winner of the June 3 USMTS event at Lucas Oil Speedway, in fifth.

USMTS points leader Rodney Sanders rallied for sixth after having to use a provisional and start the feature in 25th. Hunter Marriott, Fito Gallardo, Zack VanderBeek and Carlos Ahumada Jr. completed the top 10.

Including Ramirez, five of the top 10 finishers are past USMTS winners at Lucas Oil Speedway: Sanders (2019), Zack VanderBeek (2016) and Mullens (2020). Phillips remains the only two-time winner of the Show-Me Shootout (2012 and 2014).

Dereck Ramirez celebrates after winning the USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment.

We’ll be right back: The series is on hiatus for 264 hours but will return with a bang as another two-state tripleheader awaits the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 20-22.

Action kicks off Thursday at the Dallas County Speedway in Urbana, Mo., for the second annual Wehrs Machine Bullring Bash. Next, the Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., hosts the 3rd Annual Battle at the Beach on Friday before the weekend wraps up with the eighth annual Salute To Our Veterans on Saturday at the Salina Highbanks Speedway in Pryor Creek, Okla.

USMTS eyes Silver Dollar Nationals

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 17:32:08 GMT

The Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s heads to the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the 10th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals this Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.

Sharing the spotlight once again with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, the USMTS will have a complete program of qualifying heats and feature races both nights with each main event awarding $3,000 to the winner.

No driver has dominated one event like Rodney Sanders has here. In the previous nine events, Sanders has won 10 of the 16 main events on Friday or Saturday including six of the nine Saturday night finales. On four occasions he has swept both feature races during the weekend.

Other SDN champions include Ryan Gustin (2017), Terry Phillips (2012) and Jeremy Payne (2011). Jason Hughes and Kelly Shryock have both won preliminary features on Friday.

In addition to the Silver Dollar Nationals, the USMTS has competed at the I-80 Speedway two other times with Hughes and Tommy Myer winning those. Myer won the first race at the 4/10-mile clay oval on June 7, 2005.

The I-80 Speedway is located just north of Interstate 80 at exit 420—halfway between Omaha and Lincoln. The physical address is 13909 238th St, Greenwood, NE 68366. The entrance to the track is at 13631 238th Street (west side). For more information or to order tickets, visit i-80speedway.com or call (402)-342-3453.

Currently, the 2020 schedule for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s is highlighted by 42 nights of racing at 27 unique dirt ovals for the 22nd season of competition for the world’s Best of the Best in dirt modified racing.

Marriott handles the heat for USMTS win at Osky

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:04:15 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

A little rain in the afternoon added a little humidity to an already hot day, but Hunter Marriott was able to outlast Dereck Ramirez and then withstand the heat from Rodney Sanders to claim the win Tuesday when the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s invaded the Southern Iowa Speedway for the 12th Annual Summer Classic presented by KSE Racing Products.

Driving the No. 62 Mtn Dew Zero/Casey’s Rage Chassis powered by KSE, Marriott took over on lap 16 when leader Dereck Ramirez retired from the race with mechanical troubles after pacing the first 15 circuits before smoke began billowing from beneath his mount.

After a brief caution, ‘The Hustler’ held off Sanders the rest of the way to garner the $2,500 top prize.

“Definitely a fast track tonight and the heat made it hard on motors today,” Marriott said following his fourth career USMTS win. “All in all it was a good night for us. Sorry to see that for Dereck. I know he was blowing water but I don’t know what happened.”

Behind the Brookfield, Mo., racer, Sanders settled for the runner-up paycheck while registering his 19th top-ten finish in 19 starts during the 2020 campaign. The defending USMTS national champion will continue as the Wrisco Points Leader when they head to the I-80 Speedway this Friday and Saturday for the 10th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals.

A spirited battle between two Wichita, Kan., racers saw Tanner Mullens wind up with the spot while Tyler Davis—who hails from nearby Haysville, Kan., and leads the Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year points—took fourth at the finish line in front of Jason Hughes.

Casey Skyberg, Calvin Iverson, Joe Duvall and Chris Clark were the final cars running at the end. Ramirez was credited with tenth.

Silver Dollar Nationals next: The series heads to the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the 10th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals this Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.

No driver has dominated one event like Rodney Sanders has here. In the previous nine Silver Dollar Nationals, Sanders has won 10 of the 16 main events including six of the nine Saturday night finales. On four occasions he has swept both the Friday and Saturday main events.

20. 21K Kyle Brown, Madrid, Iowa – 385

Other winners:

4X Ryan Gustin, Marshalltown, Iowa (2 wins)

20 Jason Ingalls, Longview, Texas (1 win)

4 Bo Day, Greenville, Texas (1 win)

Tuesday’s battle will be the 35th main event held at “The Monster” but prior to 2018 it had been seven years since the USMTS fired up at Osky. Zack VanderBeek captured his second series win at his home track in the previous event held here on July 20, 2011.

Fans have witnessed some memorable USMTS shows at the Southern Iowa Speedway in the past—perhaps none more than Brad Pinkerton's drive from 16th and a nearly half-lap deficit to pass Kelly Shryock late in the race for the win in 2008.

Nine-time series champ standout Shryock tops the list of winners here with 12 career victories while Pinkerton has four. Ryan Gustin, Jason Krohn, Tommy Myer, John VanDenBerg and Chris Spieker each have a pair of wins while Al Hejna, Jason Hughes, Mark Noble, Bruce Hanford, Dan Bohr and Tony Fraise have one victory apiece.

The pit gate is set to open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5, hot laps start at 6:45 and racing gets underway at 7:15. General admission is $20 with juniors 12-16 and seniors age 62 and older just $15. Kids ages 6-11 are $5 and children 5 and under get in for free. Pit passes are $35.

The Southern Iowa Speedway is located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92 (A Ave. West), then 0.3 mile north on N. I St. (at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds).

Silver Dollar Nationals turns 10: After the Oskaloosa invasion, the series heads to the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the 10th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.

Always moving forward: Fifteen of America’s finest dirt tracks in six states hosted a USMTS event during the first half of the 2020 campaign including 12 nights of racing over the course of 18 days in June, but summer will be in the rearview mirror before the brakes get tapped again.

The Best of the Best in dirt modified racing are readying for the most grueling grind in dirt modified racing as Tuesday’s show at the Mahaska County Monster in Oskaloosa is the first of 24 contests on tap during the next two months.
