TIPTON, Iowa (May 21, 2014) – Stormy Scott rolled to his fourth consecutive United States Modified Touring Series main event victory Wednesday night at the Cedar County Raceway.

Stealing the lead away from Johnny Scott with 28 laps complete, Stormy Scott held off his younger twin brother for the final 12 laps en route to a $2,000 payday.

Zack VanderBeek, who led the first four laps of the feature race, held on for a third-place finish with Dereck Ramirez and defending USMTS national champion Rodney Sanders rounding out the top five.

Austin Siebert, Jake Gallardo, Brad Dierks, Daniel Hilsabeck and Bryan Rowland finished sixth through tenth.

On Thursday, the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by Swan Energy descends on the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta, Iowa, for the Battle at the Beaver and the first of four straight shows in the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region presented by Day Motor Sports.

Friday finds the fenderless purveyors of fast at the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minn., for the 7th Annual Mike Guttormson Memorial, followed by the 12th Annual A&A Electric Minnesota Spring Challenge at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., on Saturday, May 24.

The Memorial Day Weekend wraps up Sunday, May 25, at the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa.

Comprising 12 events in 25 days, the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region will be a flurry of action with most of the top open wheel dirt modified pilots in the region, and from around the country, tackling some of the most prestigious now-thawed speedplants in America.
