Jason Hughes Sets Sights on King of America Title
Westville, Oklahoma (3/28/13) – There's not many Open Wheel Modified events that Jason Hughes hasn't claimed at least one win, but this weekend he will pursue one such title as he is set to take his #12 West Siloam Pawn/Gressel Racing/Hughes/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified into action in the King of America III at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas).
Jason has frequented victory lane at Humboldt Speedway over the past several years, but a win in the first two editions of the King of America Modified Nationals have been elusive to him. He hopes to change that in this weekend's $10,000-to-win program. More than 100 of the best-of-the-best Open Wheel Modified pilots from across the country are converging on the 1/4 mile oval. On Thursday and Friday night preliminary action will be held, while the event will culminate on Saturday night with a $10,000-to-win finale. For more information on the event, please visit www.HumboldtSpeedway.com .
While rain was the victor last weekend Jason Hughes Motorsports was last in action over the March 15th-17th weekend as the team traveled to Texas and Louisiana over the weekend for a three-race swing with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) competitors.
A beautiful evening at RPM Speedway (Crandall, Texas) greeted the competitors on Friday night, and an overflowing pit area of 51 entries awaited battle. A second place finish in the third heat race locked Hughes into the twelfth starting spot for the 40 lap, $4,000-to-win finale. As the race went green Jason began methodically working through the field, and a lap 20 restart saw him jump into the second spot. He took part in a heated battle for the second spot for next dozen laps before finally breaking free as he set his sights on the leader, Rodney Sanders. Hughes challenged Sanders in the closing laps, but was unable to make the pass as he settled for a second place finish.
Friday night found the USMTS competitors in a new town as they invaded Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) for a $2,000-to-win program. Heat race action atop the 1/4 mile oval left Hughes short of qualifying for the feature, but a second place finish in his b-main locked him into the fifteenth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. In the feature he raced around mid-pack for the duration of the feature, unable to advance any spots as he recorded a fifteenth place finish.
The busy weekend drew to a close on Sunday evening at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana) with another $2,000-to-win event. A fifth to second run in the third heat race moved Jason Hughes to the redraw for the 40 lap feature, where he received the eighth starting spot. Despite getting the short end of the stick in the redraw Hughes enjoyed a strong run in the feature as he passed five cars on his way to a third place finish behind race winner, Stormy Scott, and Rodney Sanders.
