Twenty-Five is the New Number for Rodney Sanders
Happy, Texas (08/05/14) – The number on the side of his Swan Energy/MB Customs/Geddes Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified may be the #20, but Rodney Sanders win total for 2014 now stands at #25 after a pair of wins over the weekend.
Sanders competed in the opener for the 2014 USMTS Hunt for the Casey's Cup on Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas). Thirty-three entries attacked the 3/8 mile, clay oval, and after finishing fourth in his heat race from the seventh starting spot, Sanders had to run a b-main. Rodney won his b-main to earn the twelfth starting spot for the $3,000-to-win finale. In the 35 lap feature Sanders advanced to a fourth place finish behind race winner Terry Phillips, Jeremy Payne, and Zack VanderBeek.
Sanders returned to his winning ways on Saturday night as the tour invaded the 1/4 mile confines of Springfield Raceway (Springfield, Missouri). Thirty-eight Open Wheel Modified warriors registered for the $3,000-to-win program, and a heat race win positioned Rodney on the pole for the 35 lap finale with Logan Martin alongside. Sanders took control at the drop of the green flag, and held off a last lap charge from Jeremy Payne to score the victory over Payne, Terry Phillips, Zack VanderBeek, and Cade Dillard.
Rodney unloaded his #20 Swan Energy/Kimrad Transport/Wichita Tank Racing/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified on Sunday evening at Monett Speedway (Monett, Missouri). Thirty-three entries converged on the oval, and Sanders won his heat race to earn a spot in the redraw where he drew the pole position for the 40 lap feature. Rodney assumed the point over fellow front-row starter Stormy Scott when the race went green, and led all 40 lap for his second victory of the weekend, worth $3,000. Johnny Bone Jr. finished second followed by Terry Phillips, Stormy Scott, and Johnny Scott.
"What a great way to start the Hunt this weekend was," said Sanders with a smile. "I really want to repeat as champion this year, and this is a great way to start things."
Rodney is currently leading the latest Hunt for the Casey's Cup standings. Full results from the events and the current standings are available at www.USMTS.com
The team resumes their pursuit of the 2014 Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s National Championship this week with four big shows. Action opens on Thursday at 81 Speedway (Park City, Kansas) before moving to Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas) on Friday night.
