Jason Hughes Notches Pair of Weekend USMTS Wins in Minnesota

Westville, Oklahoma (05/16/16) – Jason Hughes stayed red-hot in USMTS Modified action over the weekend in his West Siloam Pawn #12 Hughes/Mullins Racing Engine Modified by claiming a pair of $3,000 victories.

Kicking off the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) RealTruck.com Northern Region presented by Day Motor Sports, Jason Hughes was one of 48 Open Wheel Modifieds signed in at Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie, Minnesota) on Thursday night. Improving five positions in his heat race, Hughes scored a runner-up finish behind Lucas Schott, earning him the 3rd-starting spot for the feature. Working his way into the lead by the second lap, Jason never looked back as he soared to his fifth victory of the season with Johnny Scott, Cade Dillard, Stormy Scott, and Zack VanderBeek trailing him to the checkers. Jason pocketed a $3,000 payday for his victory in the 42-lap A-Main.

The following night brought Hughes to I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) where he improved three spots in his heat race, capturing a heat race victory. Starting in 4th for the feature, Jason held off the field after working his way into the lead on the 17th lap, picking up his sixth victory of the season and third in a row. Hughes was awarded another $3,000 payday for his A-Main triumph.

Hughes hopes for a hat-trick weekend were stopped in their tracks by Mother Nature on Saturday night as the action at Viking Speedway (Alexandria, Minnesota) was canceled.
