Westville, Oklahoma (08/23/16) – Jason Hughes enjoyed another great weekend behind the wheel of his Murphrey Oil Company #12 West Siloam Pawn/ Hughes Chassis/ Mullins Racing Engine Modified. Not only did he notch his 14[sup]th[/sup] win of the 2016 season, but he also extended his advantage atop the USMTS Hunt standings.
Returning to action with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS), Jason Hughes traveled to Adams County Speedway (Corning, Iowa) on Thursday night for round six of The Hunt for the Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing and Rental. Storming to a heat race victory from the 5[sup]th[/sup]-starting spot, Jason transferred into the main event with the pole position. Battling for a $3,000 payday, Jason ultimately registered a 5[sup]th[/sup]-place in the 32-lapper, finishing behind Cade Dillard, Zack VanderBeek, Jesse Sobbing, and Rodney Sanders.
With the weather postponing Friday night’s Grant Junghans Memorial at Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, Kansas), Jason invaded Salina Highbanks Speedway (Pryor Creek, Oklahoma) on Saturday night. In a stout field of 64 Open Wheel Modifieds, Jason captured another heat race win, giving him the 3[sup]rd[/sup]-starting spot for the feature. Taking the lead on lap 21, Hughes held off the field for the remaining 11 laps to pick up his 14[sup]th[/sup] win of the season and a $3,000 payday. Cade Dillard, Terry Phillips, Jesse Sobbing, and Zack VanderBeek trailed Jason Hughes across the finish line.
The weekend drew to a close on Sunday evening at 81 Speedway (Wichita, Kansas) with the final USMTS event of the weekend. Jason parlayed a heat race win into the 5[sup]th[/sup]-starting spot for the 42-lap finale. He would go on to advance to a runner-up finish behind race winner, Ryan Gustin.
“It was another great weekend for our team,” said Hughes. “Salina Highbanks is absolutely one of my favorite tracks in the country, so it was really satisfying to get the win there. We just have to keep staying consistent if we are going to win another championship.”
Jason remains atop The Hunt for the Casey's Cup standings with a 55-point advantage over Cade Dillard for the top spot. Hughes Race Cars continues to also lead the Manufacturer’s Championship standings. Complete results and the latest standings can be found at www.USMTS.com.
The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup continues this week with four more events.
