Races to $10,000 USMTS Saturday Night Triumph

WOODWARD, Okla. (06/20/22) – For the second-straight week Dereck Ramirez went to Victory Lane with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS).

He bested a talent-laden field on Saturday night at Cedar Lake Speedway to claim the 2022 Masters crown aboard his S&S Fishing & Rentals No. 4R Koda Services/ Boom-Test Well Service/ Raw Truck Wash/ Hughes Racing Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Modified.

“We got off to a slow start on Thursday and Friday, but we were able to kick it into high gear on Saturday and got the win,” Ramirez noted. “I always enjoy going to Cedar Lake (Speedway) but we just didn’t have much luck to start things out, but thankfully it all swung in our favor by the end of the weekend.

“We’re going to take the next few weeks off to get ready for the second half of the season. Thanks so much to all of our great supporters.”

Dereck Ramirez followed the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) to Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wis.) on Thursday afternoon to kick off the 23rd annual Masters weekend.

Drawing 56 cars, Ramirez followed up a second-place finish in is heat race with a 12-lap consolation victory. Wheeling his way into the Top-5 in the feature, Dereck passed 11 cars in the 35-lapper to register a fourth-place finish.

On Friday afternoon, Dereck had to rely on a provisional to start the main event after missing a transfer spot in his heat race and B-Main. Moving forward eight spots in the 40-lap affair, Ramirez recorded a 17th-place outing.

For the finale on Saturday, Ramirez jumped advanced spot in his eight-lap heat race to pick up the win. Starting the feature in the fourth position, Dereck stole the lead from Clayton Wagamon on lap 19 and paced the field for the remainder of the 45-lapper to claim his fourth win of the season and 22nd -career USMTS triumph. He collected a $10,000 payday ahead of Jake O’Neil, Jake Timm, Tanner Mullens, and Dustin Sorensen.
