Happy, Texas (05/10/16) – Rodney Sanders picked up a $3,000 paycheck on Friday night in his #20 MB Customs/Geddes Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified with the United States Modified Touring Series at Lubbock Speedway.

Drawing 31-cars, Rodney came up one position short of a transfer spot in his heat with a 4th-place outing.

Starting in 3rd in his heat, Rodney wheeled his way to the front securing his spot for the feature. Earning the pole position, Sanders led all 37-laps picking up his fifth win of the season with Jason Hughes, Jesse Sobbing, Dereck Ramirez, and Cade Dillard trailing him across the finish line. Rodney was awarded a $3,000 payday for his victory.
