Rodney Sanders Adds Two More to 2014 Win Tally
Happy, Texas (07/01/14) – Rodney Sanders parked his #20 Swan Energy/MB Customs/Geddes Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified in victory lane twice over the weekend as his win total increased to sixteen on the season.
A six race weekend with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) began in gloomy fashion as the first two rounds fell victim to rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. A third place finish on Thursday night at Grayson County Speedway (Bells, Texas) was followed by a mechanical failure on Friday night at Superbowl Speedway (Greenville, Texas).
The team didn't let Friday night's bad luck get them down as they kicked things into high gear for the final two rounds. Saturday night took the team to Southern Oklahoma Speedway (Ardmore, Oklahoma) for a $2,000-to-win program, where a stout field of forty-two Open Wheel Modifieds entered the event. Rodney won his heat race, which sent him to the redraw for the 40 lap feature. In the redraw he received the seventh starting spot. Polesitter Adam Pen led the first three laps before Daniel Hilsabeck snuck underneath to lead lap four. Sanders soon made it a three wide battle for the top spot as the trio exited turn two, and then powered away down the backstretch. Rodney dominated the remainder of the affair, lapping more than half the field en route to his tenth USMTS victory of the season. Over eight seconds behind, Daniel Hilsabeck finished second followed by Adam Penn, Bryan Rowland, and Chris Henigan.
Sunday night found Sanders once again parking his #20 Swan Energy Open Wheel Modified in victory lane at Outlaw Motorsports Park (Muskogee, Oklahoma). A field of thirty-two entries assembled at the 3/8 mile oval for the $2,000-to-win program. A second place finish in heat race action earned Sanders a spot in the redraw, where he was the recipient of the second starting position alongside Jay Sale for the 30 lap feature. From outside the front row, Sanders bolted to the race lead with Stormy Scott in tow. Sanders overcame challenges from stormy Scott, Jeremy Payne, and Johnny Scott throughout the event to score his second win in three nights with the USMTS tour. Johnny Scott settled in second followed by Jeremy Payne third, while Bryan Rowland, and Thomas Tillison Jr. rounded out the top five finishers.
"The weekend didn't start out so hot, but it definitely improved at the end," commented Sanders. "Our team is really performing well right now, and with some big money events on the horizon our hopes are high."
Complete results from the weekend are available at www.USMTS.com .
The upcoming holiday weekend will see Rodney Sanders busy once again. Action opens on Thursday night with the 6th Annual River City Rumble, which posts as much as $3,500-to-win for USRA Modifieds. From there action shifts to Viking Speedway (Alexandria, Minnesota) for the $10,001-to-win, 10th Annual Minnesota Modified Nationals, which will be held July 4th-6th.
