Jason Hughes Wins One for Grant; King of America Next

Westville, Oklahoma (03/21/16) – Jason Hughes powered his West Siloam Pawn #12 Hughes/Mullins Racing Engine Modified to a very meaningful victory on Saturday night at Humboldt Speedway.

After seeing Mother Nature win the opening round of the weekend’s doubleheader at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas) on Friday evening, Jason Hughes was one of thirty-nine entries signed in for the 11th Annual Spring Fling on Saturday night.

Capturing a heat race win in the opening night of the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) MSD Central Region, Hughes earned the pole position for the 42-lap feature honoring the late Grant Junghans. Leading the entire distance, Jason Hughes picked up his second victory of the 2016 season with Ryan Gustin, Zack VanderBeek, Hunter Marriott, and Daniel Hilsabeck rounding out the top five. The win was worth $3,000.

“Tonight’s win was extra special because it was for Grant,” said Hughes. “We’ve all been thinking about the Junghans family this week. We’ve all had heavy hearts for their loss, so tonight I dedicate this win to the Junghans family.”

Saturday’s scheduled event at I-35 Speedway (Winston, Missouri) fell victim to snow and cold weather.

Jason leads the way in the latest MSD Central Region standings. Complete results from this event can be found at www.USMTS.com .

Jason Hughes will now turn his focus to the King of America VI, which will be held March 31-April 2 at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas). Jason is the defending champion of the $10,000-to-win, mega event. For more information on the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) event, please visit www.USMTS.com .
