Rodney Sanders Has Up-and-Down Labor Day Weekend
Happy, Texas (09/09/15) – Rodney Sanders experienced a roller coaster of emotions in his Swan Energy #20 MB Customs/Geddes Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified over the holiday weekend in United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) competition.
On Wednesday night Rodney Sanders started the five-night stand in the Hunt for the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental by traveling to Hamilton County Speedway (Webster City, Iowa). In a field of twenty-two Modifieds, Sanders transferred into the feature with a runner-up finish to Stormy Scott in his heat. With $3,000 on the line, Rodney registered a 6th place outing in the 30-lapper.
The following night brought Sanders to Fairmont Raceway (Fairmont, Minnesota) to a field of 30 Open Wheel Modifieds. Edging his way into the feature with a 4th place finish in his heat, Rodney notched the 15th place starting spot. Earning the hard charger award, Rodney Sanders improved ten spots in the 30-lap affair scoring a 5th place finish behind Jason Krohn, Jason Hughes, Jason Cummings, and Jesse Sobbing.
Friday night brought the USMTS followers to Chateau Raceway (Lansing, Minnesota) for the eleventh night of action in The Hunt for the Casey’s Cup. Improving four spots in his heat, Rodney transferred into the feature with a 4th place finish. After starting in 10th, Sanders received contact from another car, which sent him flipping upside down on lap 17. Coming out uninjured, Rodney logged only his second DNF of the 2015 campaign.
The twelfth night of action in the Hunt of the Casey’s Cup brought Sanders to Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, Minnesota) on Saturday evening. With forty-four Open Wheel Modifies signed in on Saturday night, Rodney recorded a 6th place outing in his heat sending him into the B-Main. Transferring into the feature with a 3rd place finish in his B-Main, Sanders earned the 17th start position for the 40-lapper, A-Main. Battling for a $3,000 payday, Rodney charged through the field advancing eleven spots scoring a 6th place finish.
Wrapping up the busy weekend, Rodney headed to Cresco Speedway (Cresco, Iowa) on Sunday night for the $3,000 to win Casey’s General Stores A-Main. Finishing 2nd in his heat to Casey Arneson, Sanders earned the 6th place starting spot for the feature. Working to regain the points lead in The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup, Rodney Sanders rebounded from his bad luck to capture his 23rd win of the season with Jason Hughes, Casey Arneson, Jesse Sobbing, and Ryan Gustin completing the top five.
“This five-day stretch proved to be quite the experience,” commented Sanders. “The whole situation at Chateau was very disappointing from multiple angles. However, our team kept digging and didn’t give up, so I have to thank them for getting me back on track. We’ll now head to the Fall Jamboree in a couple of weeks to try and claim this third title.”
Rodney is in second in the latest USMTS Hunt of the Casey's Cup Standings, just two points removed from the top spot, which is held by Jason Hughes. For more results from these events, please visit www.USMTS.com .
The team will not race anywhere this weekend. The next scheduled race for Rodney is September 17th-19th with the 9th Annual IMCA World Nationals at Marshalltown Speedway (Marshalltown, Iowa). For more information on the $10,000-to-win event, please visit www.MarshalltownSpeedway.com .
