Hughes back in
USMTS winners circle with Moberly triumph
MOBERLY, Mo. (April 10)
– Like a pit area full of dozens of the best Modified drivers in America or
grandstands jam-packed with rabid race fans, one of the things you can count
on seeing at a USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour event this season
is seeing Jason Hughes in victory lane.
It was no different Saturday
night at the 24 Raceway as Hughes racked up his fourth win in five starts
against a field of 59 entrants and in front of a huge crowd at the 4/10-mile
high-banked clay oval in Moberly, Mo.
At the drop of the green flag
to start the 35-lap WIX Filters “A” Main, Brian Bolin snagged the top spot
from polesitter Zack VanderBeek. Bolin led the first eight circuits while
Hughes was caught up in a battle for second with Johnny Bone Jr. and Tommy
Myer.
Myer edged in front of Hughes
for second on the seventh lap, but Hughes drove around the outside to
reclaim the runner-up spot one lap later.
Using the high line and taking
the longest route around the racetrack, Hughes powered past Bolin on lap 10
with Myer following into second one lap later.
Three cautions flags kept Myer
in contention throughout the race, but nobody could challenge Hughes for the
top spot as he cruised to the checkered flag and a $2,000 payday.
While Hughes has owned the
winner’s circle in 2010, Myer has consistently been his neighbor on the
podium. In four starts this year, Myer has a third-place showing and three
runner-up finishes including Saturday night’s effort.
Rodney Sanders crossed the
finish line in third after starting 15th and collected his second PBM
Performance Products Hard Charger Award in as many nights. Bone held on for
fourth while Ryan Gustin came from 14th to finish fifth.
Sixth was Tim Donlinger, who
earned his second straight AFCO Pole Award earlier in the program. Michael
Long, who captured his career-first USMTS win here last August, finished
seventh while Dustin Boney, Bolin and Mark Dotson rounded out the top-10
finishers.
The USMTS Casey’s General
Stores National Tour goes on hiatus for more than a month, but the USMTS
Castle Rock Recruiting Southern Series swings back into action next weekend
in the Lone Star State for the first of three tripleheaders over the next
four weeks.
Friday, April 16, will find
the tireless touring titans at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park before
heading to the Gator Motorplex on Saturday and the 105 Motor Speedway on
Sunday.
