USMTS - United States Modified Touring SeriesARDMORE, Okla. (June 29) – Stormy Scott won the battle but Johnny Scott won the war Saturday night as the week-long 4s Motorsports Southern Speedweek powered by Lecolift came to a fitting conclusion for the USMTS Modifieds at the Southern Oklahoma Speedway.

Domination by the 23-year-old twin brothers from Las Cruces, N.M., is an understatement, especially when considering the level of competition they’ve conquered on their road to success.

Just like he did last Saturday when the first of six events in seven nights kicked off at the Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas, Stormy Scott led all 40 laps of the “A” Main at John Webb’s 3/8-mile oval located next to Highway 77 outside of Ardmore, Okla.

From the pole position, Stormy Scott took charge at the drop of the green flag and immediately began to expand the distance between himself and the rest of the 24-car field.

Six cautions over the first eleven laps stalled the momentum in the early going, but he was flawless on each restart and walked away from his challengers each time.

Steve Whiteaker Jr. was the first to challenge, and then Hughes took his turn at trying to run down the leader. Meanwhile, Dereck Ramirez and Johnny Scott were moving forward along with Rodney Sanders and Kelly Shryock.

Battling for fourth, the right front tire of Sanders’ machine rubbed the left rear tire of Johnny Scott’s mount as they exited turn 4. The result was a flat tire for Sanders, which forced him up the track in the next corner and getting and into Johnny Scott’s left rear.

Sanders dove to the pits for fresh rubber, but exited the race for good one lap later after going back to green.

Ramirez came to life on the restart, powering past both Johnny Scott and Whiteaker, and then taking second place away from Hughes with 12 laps compete. Nonetheless, he was unable to make up any ground on the streaking Stormy Scott.

The only car on the track turning lap times in Stormy Scott’s neighborhood was Shryock, who was busy searching for a way around Hughes and Johnny Scott after starting the race 14th, but the nine-time USMTS national champion’s night came to an end on lap 19 after contact with the front-stretch wall.

With the race half over, Stormy Scott again pulled out to a sizeable lead after the green flag returned but Ramirez was applying pressure to the leader.

Trailing by nearly three seconds with five laps to go, Ramirez found a sweet spot on the low side of the track and quickly began to erase Stormy Scott’s advantage.

Coming to the checkered flag, Ramirez pulled even with Stormy Scott but came up about three feet short as Stormy Scott crossed the finish line 0.197 second ahead of Ramirez.

Johnny Scott came home third behind his teammate, and sealed the deal on the points championship in the Allgayer, Inc. Southern Region presented by Day Motor Sports.

While Stormy Scott pocketed $3,200 for his 15th career USMTS victory, Johnny Scott earned $5,000 for his career-first regional title. Sanders finished second in the final standings.

Chris Brown made a late-race charge to beat Zack VanderBeek to the checkers for a fourth-place paycheck. The pair came into the event tied for third in the regional rankings, with Brown winding up three points ahead after the contest.

Texan Troy Taylor started 20th and finished sixth to earn his first Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award. Hughes held on for seventh, with 24th-starting Casey Penn eighth, Daniel Hilsabeck in ninth and Thomas Tillison Jr. tenth.

Hughes wound up fifth in the final Allgayer, Inc. Southern Region presented by Day Motor Sports standings, followed by Shryock, Stormy Scott, Clyde Dunn Jr., Ramirez and Whiteaker.

Along with those ten drivers, six others punched their ticket for The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup—the season-ending grind to determine the 2013 USMTS National Champion.

Tillison, Philip Houston, Joey Galloway, Trevor Hunt and Casey Penn made the class of 2013 by finish 11th-15th in the final standings while Masen Big Eagle, who finished just six points behind Penn in 16th, earned his spot by virtue of perfect attendance at all 15 regional races.

After racing nine of the last ten days, the tireless USMTS touring titans will rest and regroup for the next 17 days before embarking on a history-making two weeks at the end of July.

First, the USMTS Casey’s Cup Series will share the spotlight with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for four shows over the course of five days: Tuesday, July 16, at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan.; Wednesday, July 17, at the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa; and Friday-Saturday, July 19-20, at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb.

The following week, the best of the best open-wheel dirt Modified drivers on planet Earth converge on the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., for the 3rd Annual World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Bauer Built Tire and Hanson Tire Service. The crown jewel event is set for Wednesday-Saturday, July 24-27, with a whopping $15,000 going to the winner and each of the 30 “A” Main starters pocketing a minimum $1,500.
