Rodney Sanders Secures Seventh Win of Season; Busy Memorial Day on Tap
Happy, Texas (05/19/15) – Rodney Sanders parked his #20 Swan Energy/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified in victory lane for the seventh time this season with a triumph at I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) on Friday evening.
The two-time and defending USMTS Champion started 13th in the finale at I-94 Speedway. Despite starting deep in the grid Rodney wasted no time working his way forward through the pack. On lap 14 he rocketed into the lead and proceeded to drive away from the field to score the victory by almost four seconds. He was followed across the finish line by Brent Larson, Tim Johnson, Joey Jensen, and Scot Danzeisen. The victory marked his seventh of the year.
On Saturday the action moved on to Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie Minnesota). Rodney managed to pull off a 3rd place in his heat, gaining him a spot in the USMTS Casey’s Cup A-main. After starting 11th in the feature Rodney worked his way through the field to obtain a solid 3rd place finish behind race winner, Stormy Scott, and Dan Ebert.
“With all of the rain we haven’t had many chances to race over the past month, so it feels good to race and win again,” said Sanders. “There’s a lot of racing in the next few weeks so hopefully we can keep contending for wins.”
Full results from the weekend are available at www.USMTS.com .
The Memorial Day weekend will see Rodney entering four $3,000-to-win, USMTS events. Action opens on Thursday evening at Crawford County Speedway (Dennison, Iowa) before moving to Chateau Raceway (Lansing, Minnesota) on Friday. On Saturday night Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, Minnesota) will play host to the travelers, while the extended weekend will draw to a close on Sunday evening at Upper Iowa Speedway (Decorah, Iowa).
