USMTS - United States Modified Touring SeriesARDMORE, Okla.-Rodney Sanders decimated the field Saturday night at the Southern Oklahoma Speedway as the defending USMTS national champion lapped more than half of the field in registering his tenth United States Modified Touring Series main event win of the 2014 campaign.
Polesitter Adam Penn led the first three laps before Daniel Hilsabeck snuck underneath to lead lap 4, but the Sanders made it a three-wide affair as the lead trio exited turn 2 and then powered away from the pack to nab the $2,000 top prize.

It was the 28th career USMTS win for Sanders and one of his most dominant performances as he left Hilsabeck in his wake and streaked under the checkered flags with nearly a half-lap cushion (8.486 seconds) over Hilsabeck.

Although overshadowed by Sanders’ onslaught, Hilsabeck matched his career best finish in USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by Swan Energy competition and enjoyed an advantage of nearly seven seconds over Penn who garnered his best series finish in third.

Bryan Rowland outdueled Chris Henigan for the fourth spot.

S&S Fishing & Rental Southern Series points leader Stormy Scott bounced back from a out-of-the-ordinary showing in Edelbrock Heat Race #3 and Real Racing Wheels “B” Main #1 to take home a sixth-place paycheck in the Double H Bands “A” Main after needing a provisional to start the 40-lapper in the 25th position.

Clyde Dunn Jr. finished seventh, Cade Dillard wound up eighth, Johnny Scott took ninth and Chris Brown rebounded from an early-race scuffle to round out the top 10.

The USMTS masters of mud-slinging will wrap up their ‘Dozen Days of Dirt’ tour on Sunday, June 29, at the Outlaw Motorsports Park in Oktaha, Okla., with gates swinging open at 4 p.m. and racing at 6. Tickets are $15 at the gate, kids ages 8-12 and seniors are $7.50 and children ages 7 and under get in for free. Active duty military and veterans can also enjoy the show free of charge.

The Outlaw Motorsports Park is a 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval located 7 miles south of Muskogee on Hwy 69 at the Wainwright exit; 11 miles north of I-40 on Hwy. 69. For more information call 918-687-7077 or visit www.outlawmotorsportspark.com online.
