Jason Hughes Charges to Runner-Up Finish in USMTS Silver Dollar Nationals
COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Super Late Model Action Up Next
Westville, Oklahoma (7/24/18) – Jason Hughes battled his way to a runner-up finish in Saturday night’s 8th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals finale in his Henryetta Ford #12 Murphrey Oil Company/ Red Tail Tackle/ Hughes Chassis/ Mullins Racing Engine Modified.
While Hughes bid to claim the Silver Dollar Nationals title came up one spot short, the Oklahoma racer was still pleased with the outing.
“We had a great car all weekend, and I gave it my best shot to get around (Rodney) Sanders after that late-race caution, but he was just a little better than us tonight,†Hughes said. “Overall, it was a great weekend for our team here at I-80, and the staff had this place in great shape for tonight’s feature. I always enjoy coming here, and this weekend was no exception. We’ll take what we learned here tonight, and move onto the next event.â€
Friday night found Jason Hughes returning to competition at I-80 Speedway (Greenwood, Nebraska) as the 8th annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals came to life.
Drawing 36 United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) competitors for the two rounds of heat races, Hughes gained two spots in his first heat to finish in the runner-up position behind Darron Fuqua. Starting his second heat from the sixth slot, Jason streaked to an 8-lap heat race victory, which secured his starting spot in the Moock Trucking Qualifier. Rolling off the grid second, Jason Hughes slipped one spot in the 16-lapper, scoring a third-place finish.
Via his qualifier performance, Jason locked into the fifth-starting spot for the finale.
In the $8,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday evening, Jason Hughes improved three positions in the 40-lap affair to record a second-place finish behind Rodney Sanders with Lucas Schott, Zack VanderBeek, and Stormy Scott completing the Top-5 finishers.
Complete results and the latest standings can be found at www.USMTS.com .
This weekend – July 27-28 – Jason will return to the driver’s seat of Shannon Scott’s Henryetta Ford Super Late Model in a pair of COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model events. Action opens on Friday night with a $2,000-to-win event at Mooney Starr’s Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas).
