Jason Hughes Pushes Win Total to Lucky #13; The Hunt Continues
Westville, Oklahoma (08/17/16) – Jason Hughes increased his 2016-win tally to 13 on Saturday night in his Murphrey Oil Company #12 West Siloam Pawn/ Hughes Chassis/ Mullins Racing Engine Modified.
After three consecutive rain-outs, the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) resumed at Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie, Minnesota) on Saturday night for the fourth round of The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental. In a field of 32 entries, Jason gained five positions in his heat landing a runner-up finish behind Johnny Scott. His heat race performance came at an expense though as the team was forced to change power plants before the start of the feature.
Via his heat race performance Hughes transferred into the main event with the 7th-starting spot, and he worked his way into the lead by lap 31. Holding off the field for the remaining 11 laps, Jason Hughes captured his 13th victory of the season and a $3,000 payday. Jesse Sobbing, Johnny Scott, Rodney Sanders, and Cade Dillard trailed Hughes across the finish line in the 42-lapper.
“It was a little choppy in places, but with all the rain they’ve had up here the track was in pretty good shape,” Hughes said in Widow Wax Victory Lane. “It’s a real nice place and we love coming here to race.”
On Sunday night the USMTS followers headed to Mason City Motor Speedway (Mason City, Iowa) for another $3,000-to-win A-Main. Improving four spots in his heat, Jason posted a 3rd-place finish giving him the pole position for the main event. Hanging on to a Top 5 finish, Hughes posted a 5th-place finish behind Cade Dillard, Rodney Sanders, Zack VanderBeek, and Johnny Scott.
Jason is currently leading The Hunt for the Casey's Cup with five races completed.

The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup resumes this weekend with a four-race swing. Action opens on Thursday evening at Adams County Speedway (Corning, Iowa) before shifting to Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, Kansas) on Friday night for the inaugural $10,000-to-win, Grant Junghans Memorial.
