Cade Dillard Claims Pair of USMTS Runner-Up Finishes
Louisiana Late Model Series at Show Time Speedway Up Next
Robeline, Louisiana (04/16/19) – Cade Dillard took advantage of a break in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series schedule to enter a pair of United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) events over the weekend in his home state. While he didn’t get a win, he did record a pair of runner-up finishes in his first two Modified starts of the season.
“We had hoped to race the Modified before now, but Mother Nature has not been very cooperative so far this year,†Dillard stated. “Ark-La-Tex Speedway is a place that I’ve always enjoyed racing at, and we’ve enjoyed success there. For our first two races against such a stout field, I was happy with our finishes. It was especially nice to race close to home with so many family members, fans, and sponsors in attendance.â€
Thursday night saw Cade Dillard hop behind the wheel of his S&S Fishing & Rental Inc. No. 97 MB Customs Open Wheel Modified entry during the opening round of the seventh annual Cajun Clash at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana).
In a field of 44 United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) entries, Dillard secured his spot into the opening night feature with an 8-lap heat race victory. Starting in the eighth position, Cade slowly worked his way to the front of the packed and challenged race-long leader Rodney Sanders for the top spot in the closing laps, but came up short in his bid for the win. Dillard was credited with a second-place finish behind Sanders, while Lucas Schott, Zack VanderBeek, and Ryan Gustin completed the Top-5 finishers in the 40-lap affair.
On Friday night, Dillard cruised to a heat race victory, positioning him sixth on the starting grid for the $3,000-to-win A-Main. Wheeling his way into a podium spot, Cade jumped up four positions to notch a runner-up finish behind Hunter Marriott. Chris Henigan, Ryan Gustin, and Lucas Schott rounded out the Top-5 finishers.
With possible tornadoes and rain in the forecast, Saturday’s $5,000-to-win finale fell victim to Mother Nature.

Cade will remain idle this weekend, but plans to return to action on April 26 in his S&S Fishing & Rental Inc. No. 97 MB Customs/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model. He’ll be competing with the Louisiana Late Model Series at Show Time Speedway (Many, Louisiana), where a $2,000 top prize will be on the line.
