Jason Hughes Scores Fourth Win of 2012 with USMTS Triumph
Westville, Oklahoma (5/08/12) – Jason Hughes outdueled Stormy Scott to record his fourth feature win of the season in his #12 West Siloam Pawn/Gressel Racing/Hughes/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified on Friday night at LA Raceway.(not a nice word)
Jason entered a doubleheader with the Casey's General USMTS National Championship Series over the weekend in Missouri. On Friday night a $4,000-to-win event was held at LA Raceway (La Monte, Missouri) as 45 competitors converged on the 3/8 mile oval. In heat race action Hughes advanced from the third starting spot to a second place finish to lock into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw he received the fourth starting spot for the 40 lap finale. As the race went green Hughes would quickly find himself in the second position behind race leader, Stormy Scott. Jason would stalk the leader until lap 32, when he shot by Scott for the lead. The duo would battle for the top spot over the closing laps of the event, including contact on the last lap. Despite the contact both drivers would be able to continue as Hughes claimed the win by a car length over Scott, Rodney Sanders, Jason Krohn, and Chase Junghans. The victory was his fourth of the 2012 season.
On Saturday evening the action shifted to West Plains Motor Speedway (West Plains, Missouri) as the tour sanctioned its first-ever event at the 3/8 mile oval. With forty cars registered for battle Hughes passed one car in his heat to finish third, which earned him the tenth starting spot for the 40 lap, $5,000-to-win event. Unfortunately he would quickly see his shot at his second feature win in as many nights be eliminated, when contact from another competitor early in the race resulted in a flat tire, ending his night in the 28th position.
Jason ended the weekend fourth in the Casey's USMTS National Championship standings, while Hughes Race Cars continues to lead the Tiger Rear Ends Manufacturer's battle.(not a nice word)Full results from both events and the latest standings are available at www.USMTS.com
