USMTS - United States Modified Touring SeriesGREENWOOD, La. (March 17) – Stormy Scott took the lead at the start of the USMTS Casey’s Cup Series main event, survived a late-race caution and withstood a last-minute challenge from Rodney Sanders to win the 4th Annual Marshall Mobile Homes Battle at Boothill powered by Lecolift on Sunday night at the Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La.

From the pole position, Scott beat fellow front row starter Sanders into the first turn and took command. Sanders chased Scott around the high-banked 1/3-mile red clay oval for the first nine laps when the yellow flag waved to slow the action.

For the restart, Sanders opted for the inside slot which gave Bobby Malchus the outside line. For the next 20 laps, Sanders and Malchus raced virtually side by side while Scott raced off from the field.

Finally securing the second spot from Malchus with 12 laps to go, Sanders began to eat away at the leader’s advantage as Scott tussled with heavy lapped traffic.

Sanders finally reached Scott’s rear bumper with five laps to go, but the caution flag appeared again the next time around when Clyde Dunn Jr. came to a stop on the track with problems under the hood of his machine.

With a clear track ahead, Scott was able to hold off Sanders for the final four laps to score his second USMTS win of the season and pocket $4,000 for his efforts.

For Sanders, his run capped off a weekend that included three heat race wins, one feature win and two main event runner-up finishes to launch him into the points lead of the USMTS Allgayer, Inc. Southern Region presented by Day Motor Sports.

Jason Hughes kept his streak of strong early-season runs going with a close third-place finish while Jason Ingalls snagged fourth ahead of Zack VanderBeek who earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award after racing from 12 to fifth in the 40-lap Swan Energy “A” Main.

Malchus held on for sixth, followed by Johnny Scott in seventh, Chris Brown eighth, Ryan Gustin in ninth and Kelly Shryock in the tenth spot.

The King of America III Modified Nationals kicks off next Wednesday, March 20, with practice from 6-9 p.m., followed by three big days of racing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with the champion taking home $10,000. More than 120 cars and drivers are already entered for the three-year-old instant classic.
