    Rodney Sanders​ Wins Two More; Busy Holiday Weekend Ahead

    Happy, Texas (06/30/15) – Rodney Sanders pushed his 2015 win tally to sixteen over the weekend with a pair of wins aboard his potent #20 Swan Energy/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified.

    With his eyes on seven straight wins in the United States Modified Touring Series ( USMTS )​, Rodney Sanders visited to Heart O’ Texas Speedway (Elm Mott, Texas) for another round of action on Tuesday evening. In a field of thirty-two Open Wheel Modifieds, Rodney had to rely on his B-Main performance after placing 5th in his heat. Following a B-Main victory, Rodney Sanders charged from his 13th place starting position to capture his seventh straight Casey’s General Stores A-Main victory, which was worth $3,000. Steve Whiteaker Jr., Cade Dillard, Clyde Dunn Jr., and Grant Junghans completed the top five finishers.

    On Wednesday night Rodney Sanders traveled with the USMTS to Devil’s Bowl Speedway (Mesquite, Texas). With forty-one cars on hand to battle for the $3,000 payday, Rodney’s winning streak came to end. After failing to record a transfer spot from his heat race, he edged his way into the feature event with a 6th place finish in his B-Main, Sanders went on to receive the hard charger award in the finale for advancing from his 24th starting spot to record a 7th place exit.

    The following night brought Rodney to East Texas Speedway (Petty, Texas) for another night of competition with the USMTS. With a smaller field of 33 entries, Sanders scored a spot into the feature event with a 2nd place outing in his heat. Starting in 9th, Rodney went on to record a 2nd place finish in the feature behind race winner, Philip Houston, with Bobby Malchus, Dereck Ramirez and Johnny Scott completing the top five.

    On Friday evening Rodney Sanders made the trip to Southern Oklahoma Speedway (Ardmore, Oklahoma) for the fourth USMTS round of the weekend. With forty-one cars signed in for the night’s program, Sanders had to rely on his B-Main showing after logging an 8th spot finish in his heat. Starting in 12th in the consolation event, Sanders charged through the field to capture the win and the transfer. With a 14th place starting spot for the Casey’s General Stores A-Main, Rodney Sanders wheeled his way through the field to notch a 3rd place finish behind race winner, Triston Dycus, and Jason Hughes with Clyde Dunn Jr., and Dereck Ramirez rounding out the top five competitors.

    On Saturday night Sanders wrapped up the busy week at Lawton Speedway (Lawton, Oklahoma) for another round of USMTS action. Against a field of thirty-one Open Wheel Modifieds, Rodney earned his way into the 40-lap feature with a 2nd place outing in his heat. Starting in 6th place, Rodney Sanders captured his 16th win of the 2015 season. Competing in the Casey’s General Stores A-Main, Rodney scored a $3,000 payday with Dereck Ramirez, Steve Whiteaker Jr., Jesse Sobbing, and Cade Dillard completing the top five finishers.
